Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- Optional: 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Optional: 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Wash and dry the spinach leaves. Roughly chop if preferred.
- If using garlic and cherry tomatoes, mince the garlic and halve the tomatoes. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add spinach leaves and stir occasionally until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet. Stir gently to scramble and combine with spinach.
- Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using. Stir and cook until eggs are set, about 3–4 minutes.
- If using, sprinkle feta cheese on top and let melt slightly before serving.
Notes
Avoid overcooking the eggs to prevent a rubbery texture. Remove from heat just before they are fully set. For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking.
