🍳 Step-by-Step Directions
- Whisk the eggs:
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy — this helps make your scrambled eggs soft and airy. 🥄 - Sauté the spinach:
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then toss in the spinach. Stir until wilted — this should take 1–2 minutes. 🌱 - Add the eggs:
Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing from the edges toward the center. Continue until the eggs are softly set but still a little creamy. - Optional cheese magic:
If you’d like, sprinkle in some cheese just before the eggs are fully cooked. It’ll melt beautifully into the mixture, adding richness. 🧀 - Serve immediately:
Transfer to a warm plate and enjoy your scrambled eggs hot — perhaps with a slice of whole-grain toast or a cup of coffee. ☕
