What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 whole large eggs
- 60 g fresh baby spinach
- 40 g crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp whole milk
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Whisk the eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until fully combined and slightly airy.
Step 2: Wilt the spinach
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the spinach and cook for about 1 minute stirring until just wilted.
Step 3: Scramble the eggs
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and reduce heat to medium-low. Gently fold the eggs with a spatula in slow sweeping motions, pulling the curds from the edges toward the center until softly set.
Step 4: Add feta and serve
Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly glossy, fold in the crumbled feta, and serve immediately on toast or on their own.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- feta cheese → goat cheese or ricotta for a creamier texture
- baby spinach → kale or arugula for a different leafy green
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Cooking the eggs on heat that is too high which makes them rubbery and dry
- Stirring too fast and too often which breaks the curds into tiny dry pieces
