Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 small onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until the mixture is well combined and frothy.

Step 2

Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop the spinach roughly.

Step 3

Peel the onion and finely dice it.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the onions and spinach in the skillet.

Step 8

Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 20 seconds to start setting, then gently stir with a spatula, slowly folding the edges toward the center.

Step 9

Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the eggs are mostly set and slightly runny in parts, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 10

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs and give them a final stir, ensuring it's well incorporated and melted.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a creamy consistency.

Step 12

Serve the scrambled eggs with spinach and onions hot, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
