Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 4 eggs Fresh Eggs The star of this recipe, providing protein and a fluffy texture.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor; add early for best results.
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper A must for seasoning; adjust to taste.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Adds vibrant color and essential nutrients; stir in just before eggs finish cooking.
For Cooking

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cracking fresh eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk them vigorously with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy, roughly 1-2 minutes.
  2. Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add a generous pat of butter and let it melt, gently swirling to coat the pan.
  3. Once melted, add fresh spinach to the pan. Stir frequently for about 2 minutes until it wilts down.
  4. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan over the wilted spinach. Stir gently for about 1 minute.
  5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat while still slightly runny.
  6. Sprinkle grated cheese over the warm eggs, fold gently, and serve immediately.
