Description

This easy and nutritious breakfast combines creamy scrambled eggs with melted cheese and sautéed spinach, making it a delicious way to start your day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Spinach:
    Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs:
    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the eggs start to set.
  3. Add Cheese:
    Once the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, add the shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the eggs are creamy.
  4. Combine Spinach and Eggs:
    Add the sautéed spinach back to the pan and gently stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fully cooked but still moist.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the cheesy scrambled eggs with spinach immediately, topped with extra cheese or herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or onion to the sautéed spinach.
  • You can substitute the spinach with other greens like kale or arugula for variety.
  • Adjust the amount of cheese to suit your taste.
