This dish is made with fluffy scrambled eggs mixed with fresh spinach. It’s a simple, healthy meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The greens add a nice touch of color and nutrients.
I like to make it quick in the morning. Sometimes I sprinkle some cheese on top for extra flavor—easy and delicious!
For a healthy boost, serve it with whole-grain toast. It’s perfect for busy days when you want something tasty and good for you.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: The main protein that makes up this dish. I recommend using fresh, large eggs for the best flavor. If you want to swap, consider liquid egg whites or a combo of eggs and egg whites to reduce richness.
Spinach: Adds vibrant color and a mild earthy flavor. Fresh spinach is best, but frozen works in a pinch—just make sure to squeeze out excess water before cooking to prevent sogginess.
Olive Oil or Butter: Used for sautéing and adding richness. I prefer butter for flavor, but olive oil is a healthier substitute. Keep the heat moderate so it doesn’t burn or smoke.
Salt and Pepper: Basic seasonings that bring out the eggs’ texture. Always taste and adjust generously; you can add herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
How do I scramble eggs without overcooking or browning?
Start with low to medium heat so eggs cook gently. Stir continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom often. Remove from heat before they look fully set—they’ll continue to cook from residual heat. Patience keeps eggs soft and creamy.
- Use a non-stick pan for easy stirring and cleanup.
- Keep the heat moderate—too high cooks eggs fast and makes them tough.
- Don’t overstir—gentle, steady movement results in fluffy, tender eggs.
