Spinach scrambled eggs are a nutritious and delicious way to start your day. Combining the fresh taste of spinach with the comforting flavors of scrambled eggs, this recipe is quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the 2 eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are combined.
- Roughly chop the spinach if it isn't already.
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Allow it to heat up for about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet.
- Sauté the spinach for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is wilted and has reduced in volume.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the wilted spinach in the skillet.
- Let the eggs sit for a few seconds, until they just begin to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir and scramble the eggs with the spinach.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan and to ensure they cook evenly.
- Season the eggs with a dash of salt and two dashes of black pepper while they are still slightly runny.
- Cook until the eggs are fully set but still moist and soft, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overcooking, as the eggs can become rubbery.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Serve the spinach scrambled eggs immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of toast, avocado, or any other preferred accompaniment.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly wash and dry the spinach before cooking to remove any dirt or grit.
- Beat the eggs well before adding them to the pan for fluffier scrambled eggs.
- Cook the eggs on medium to low heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a creamy texture.
- Feel free to add other ingredients like cheese, tomatoes, or onions to enhance the flavor.
With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can enjoy a healthy and tasty breakfast. Spinach scrambled eggs are not only easy to make but also packed with nutrients, making them a great addition to your morning routine.
