Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp milk or unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 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
- Separate eggs when cold (the yolks are firmer), then let whites come to room temp before whipping.
- Softened butter should hold a fingerprint but not be greasy — if it melts on touch, it's too warm for creaming.
- If substituting olive oil for butter, use about 3/4 the amount (olive oil is 100% fat, butter is ~80%).
