Spinach Scrambled Eggs
These spinach scrambled eggs with feta cheese make for a swift, uncomplicated, and protein-rich morning repast.
Ingredients
- 2–3 eggs
- 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk to blend, and set aside.
2. Heat butter in a cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat.
3. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped spinach and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted, tender, and vibrant green, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. After cooking the spinach, reduce the heat to medium. Add the whisked eggs to the pan and, using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs. When the eggs are about halfway cooked, introduce the crumbled feta cheese and continue folding and stirring until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Once fully cooked, remove the mixture from the pan, season with additional salt and pepper to your taste, and serve promptly.
