Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 cup fresh spinach and cook 1-2 minutes until wilted, then pour in the beaten eggs.
  3. Step 3: Gently push cooked edges toward center with a heatproof spatula as eggs set, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. When eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top (2-3 minutes), sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar over one half, fold the other half over the cheese, and cook 1 more minute until cheese melts. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped chives.
