Instructions
- 01
Prepare the ingredients: wash the spinach thoroughly and chop it roughly. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 02
Heat the pan: place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Let it warm for a few seconds until just shimmering.
- 03
Cook the spinach: add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until it softens and reduces in volume.
- 04
Add the eggs: pour the whisked eggs over the spinach. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently stir to begin forming soft curds.
- 05
Add the cheese: when the eggs are almost set, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and let it melt into the curds for a creamy finish.
- 06
Final touch: cook for another 1–2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still soft, then take the pan off the heat.
- 07
Serve: transfer to a bowl and serve hot, finishing with extra cheese or fresh herbs if you like.
- ✦Add grilled chicken for an extra protein boost.
- ✦Swap cheddar for feta when you want a tangy, briny twist.
