Prepare Ingredients.
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Roughly chop the spinach leaves if they are large. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Tip: Using room temperature eggs helps them cook more evenly. -
Toast the Bread.
Place the slice of whole wheat bread in a toaster or toaster oven and toast it to your preferred level of crispness. Once toasted, set it aside on a plate.
Tip: If you don't have a toaster, you can toast the bread in a dry skillet over medium heat, flipping until both sides are golden brown. -
Cook Spinach.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the chopped spinach. Stir frequently and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and reduces in size.
Tip: Avoid overcooking spinach to keep its bright green color and nutrients intact. -
Add Eggs and Scramble.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the cooked spinach. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds. Continue cooking and gently stirring until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Tip: Cook eggs on medium-low heat to avoid drying them out or browning. -
Serve.
Transfer the scrambled eggs with spinach onto a plate. Serve immediately with the warm whole wheat toast on the side.
Tip: Optionally, season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Pro tips
