Ingredient Notes

The four key ingredients for this dish are fresh spinach, feta cheese, eggs, and olive oil. You can substitute the spinach with kale or any other leafy greens you prefer. For the feta, try goat cheese if you’re looking for a creamier option. Use large eggs for a fluffier scramble, and extra virgin olive oil adds a nice richness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it’s wilted and tender.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and crumbled feta until fully combined.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed spinach and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 5-7 minutes.

Things I’ve Learned

When making this scramble, be careful not to overcook the eggs; they should remain soft and creamy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you want to make this dish ahead of time, consider prepping the spinach and feta mixture separately, then scramble the eggs fresh in the morning for the best texture.

FAQs

Q: How should I store leftovers?
