Spinach and Garlic Scramble

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon grated cheddar cheese, optional
• 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper, optional
• 1/4 cup diced onion, optional
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Method

1. 1Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
2. 2Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the minced garlic for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's deeply golden and fragrant.
3. 3Add the chopped spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they're wilted and the liquid has evaporated.
4. 4Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach and garlic in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the edges start to set.
5. 5Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs, breaking them up into soft curds, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they're almost set.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, if using, until it's melted and well combined.
7. 7Serve the spinach and garlic scramble hot, garnished with chopped parsley, diced red bell pepper, and diced onion, if desired.
