📖 Instructions

  1. First, gather your ingredients. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better results. Also, wash and chop your spinach; you want it nicely prepped and ready to go. Oh, and grate that mozzarella—the finer the better, in my opinion.
  2. Next, heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil in your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Don't let the oil get too hot or it'll burn. You should see a gentle shimmer. This is where patience is key, my friend!
  3. Once the oil is hot, add your chopped spinach to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt and slightly soften. Don't overcook it or it'll become mushy. We want it nice and vibrant green and slightly tender; you get the idea!
  4. Now crack your eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Give it a quick whisk to combine. I like to add a tiny bit of milk or cream for extra fluffiness, but it's optional; it's completely up to you!
  5. Carefully pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the wilted spinach. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a minute or two, until the edges start to set. You'll see them begin to firm up nicely.
  6. Once the edges are set, gently push them towards the center using your spatula. This allows the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until almost all the eggs are set, but still slightly moist. This is the magic part of the cooking process; don't rush it.
  7. Finally, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the eggs and spinach. Let the cheese melt slightly. This step only takes a minute or two, and gives the entire dish a wonderful creamy texture. It's a very important step!
  8. Once the cheese is melted and everything looks perfectly delicious, remove the skillet from the heat. You're done! Give the eggs a final, gentle stir before serving them immediately. This distributes the cheese and spinach wonderfully and brings the whole dish together in the most delightful way possible. Enjoy!

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the eggs while whisking.
  • If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spinach while sautéing.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to your preference; I'm a cheese fiend!
