Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 eggs
Vegetables and Fresh Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas (optional, for wraps)
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a mixing vessel, incorporating milk, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency and pale yellow color.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium flame, adding a generous pat of butter or drizzle of olive oil to coat the cooking surface.
- Toss fresh spinach leaves into the heated pan, allowing them to wilt and reduce in volume for approximately 60-90 seconds, releasing their vibrant green color and moisture.
- Gently cascade the whisked egg mixture over the wilted spinach, using a silicone spatula to continuously fold and manipulate the eggs, creating soft, billowy curds.
- Monitor the cooking process carefully, removing the skillet from heat when the eggs appear just set but still glossy and creamy in texture.
- Transfer the aromatic egg creation onto a serving plate, ensuring a delicate presentation.
- Artfully arrange thin, jade-green avocado slices atop the scrambled eggs, and if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese for an additional layer of tangy richness.
- Serve immediately while the eggs remain warm and luxuriously creamy, providing a nutritious and visually appealing morning meal.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother, creamier scrambled eggs that cook more evenly.
- Avoid overcooking spinach to preserve its vibrant green color and nutritional value.
- Experiment with different cheese options like goat cheese or parmesan for varied flavor profiles.
- For a dairy-free version, replace milk with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk and use olive oil instead of butter.
