6 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk or unsweetened non-dairy milk Shop
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. This ensures an even base for your scramble.
2 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the 1 cup of finely chopped fresh spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until it wilts and turns bright green.
3 Pour the whisked egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet. Let the eggs set undisturbed for about 30 seconds around the edges.
4 Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process for about 5-7 minutes, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
5 Sprinkle the 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking. Fold the eggs gently a few more times until the cheese is melted and the scramble reaches your desired consistency, ensuring it's not overcooked.
6 Serve the gluten-free green eggs scramble immediately while warm and fluffy. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tips & Notes

Squeeze any water from the wilted spinach before adding the eggs so the scramble isn't watery.
Take the eggs off the heat while they still look slightly wet. They keep cooking on the plate.
For brighter green eggs, blend the spinach with the eggs and milk before cooking.
