Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the onion finely and rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water. Pat them dry using a paper towel or a clean kitchen cloth.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and optionally add milk or cream. Whisk the eggs until the mixture is uniformly yellow.

Step 3

Season the beaten eggs with salt and black pepper, and give them another quick whisk.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté them for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they become translucent but not browned.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the onions and spinach. Let it sit for a few seconds before gently stirring.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently lift and fold the eggs as they cook, allowing the uncooked parts to flow to the bottom. Continue to cook and fold until there are no visible liquid eggs remaining. The eggs should still be soft and slightly creamy.

Step 9

Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 10

Serve the low carb scrambled eggs hot, garnished with a little extra fresh spinach or some herbs if desired. Enjoy!
