Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended and the egg yolks are completely incorporated into the whites.
Step 2
Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the spinach if desired.
Step 3
In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat, ensuring it coats the entire surface of the skillet.
Step 4
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until just wilted, stirring often.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, forming soft curds. Continue doing this until the eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid over-stirring to maintain a creamy texture.
Step 7
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat slightly before they reach your desired doneness as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh chives if using, and serve immediately.
