Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • pinch sea salt and black pepper to season

Instructions

  • Start by mincing the shallot and garlic. Set them aside. Rinse the baby spinach leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • In a bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Use a whisk or fork to beat the eggs until they are well combined and frothy.
  • In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the 2 cups of fresh baby spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir into the shallot and garlic mixture. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the spinach mixture. Allow to sit briefly, then gently stir with a spatula. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just set but still creamy.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the eggs. Stir gently to combine and melt the cheese slightly.
  • Transfer the Spinach Scrambled Eggs to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
