Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach packed
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl. Add salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach. Let the eggs set slightly around the edges, about 1 minute.
  5. Gently push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
  6. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist, sprinkle the feta cheese over the top. Cook for another minute until done to your liking.
  7. Serve immediately.
