Fluffy scrambled eggs with spinach in a skillet.

Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 4 servings

  • (8) large eggs
  • (1/2 cups) milk
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1/4 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (2 tablespoons) butter
  • (2 cups) fresh spinach, chopped
  • (1/2 cups) shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, crack 8 large eggs and add 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and frothy.

  2. 2

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until bubbly.

  3. 3

    Add 2 cups chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.

  4. 4

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach, and let it sit for about 30 seconds without stirring.

  5. 5

    Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    If desired, sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the eggs and let it melt before serving.
