Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs and cream are well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Ensure that the butter evenly coats the bottom of the skillet.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until it wilts down slightly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the spinach.
Step 5
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then begin to slowly stir with a spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges toward the center. This slow cooking method makes the eggs creamy.
Step 6
When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 7
Continue to gently stir and fold the eggs until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
