Units Scale

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream (optional, for creamier eggs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter, divided

  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or feta cheese for garnish

Instructions

Instructions

1. Sauté the Spinach

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic (if using) and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. Whisk the Eggs

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

3. Cook the Scrambled Eggs

  1. Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter.
  2. Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs as they cook.
  3. Cook until the eggs are softly set and still slightly creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. Combine and Serve

  1. Gently fold the sautéed spinach into the scrambled eggs or serve it on the side.
  2. Optional: Top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or crumbled feta cheese for added flavor.
