Kickstart your morning with a delicious and easy breakfast that’s packed with flavor and nutrients. This scrambled egg recipe with spinach and feta is quick to make and will leave you feeling energized and ready to take on the day.
Ingredients Needed
* 4 large eggs
* 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
* 2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
* 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Step By Step Making
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined. If you like, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
2. Melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook just until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet.
5. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
6. Gently push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly wet.
7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and gently fold it in.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to your desired doneness.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful breakfast.
