Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tbsp milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1/2 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted and bright green.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until softly scrambled and just set.
  4. Step 4: Remove the scrambled eggs and spinach from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Step 5: Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Place 1 large flour tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the scrambled eggs and spinach evenly over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese.
  7. Step 7: Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted.
  8. Step 8: Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
