Equipment

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup spinach (tightly packed; or use ¼ cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add the eggs and spinach to a blender. Blend, starting on low and working up to high to make a bright green mixture.
Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. When melted, spread around the pan to coat.
Add the egg mixture and let set for about 1 minute. Stir gently, using a spatula to push the cooked eggs on the bottom of the pan to the side to allow the uncooked eggs to come into contact with the pan. Continue stirring occasionally and gently for about 4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir. Serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in a heat-safe container in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

You can add up to 2 cups of spinach as you prefer. (You can start to taste it when you get to 2 cups, so keep that in mind.)

Serve with a side of toast and fruit, or add to a tortilla to make a breakfast burrito or an English muffin to make an egg sandwich.

Have the kids help add the spinach to the blender so they can participate in watching the eggs turn green.

Add cracked black pepper and hot sauce to your portion if desired.

Dairy-free: Omit the Parmesan.

To make with frozen spinach, thaw the spinach, squeeze very dry, and use about 1/4 cup.
