Spinach and Cheese Scramble

Ingredients:

• Fresh spinach leaves (about 2 cups)
• 2-3 eggs
• 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or a similar variety), shredded
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Wash the spinach leaves and set them aside to drain.
   • Finely chop the onion and shred the cheese if it’s not pre-shredded.
   • Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Cook the Onions:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Once melted, add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent (about 2-3 minutes).

3. Add the Spinach:

   • Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts down.

4. Scramble the Eggs:

   • Push the spinach and onions to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty space and scramble them gently. Stir occasionally to cook the eggs evenly.

5. Add the Cheese:

   • Once the eggs are nearly cooked through (still slightly soft), sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and stir to melt the cheese into the mixture.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately!

Optional Add-Ins:

• Garlic: Add a little minced garlic when sautéing the onions for extra flavor.
• Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme can be added for a more vibrant flavor.
• Mushrooms: Adding sautéed mushrooms is another great way to enhance the dish.
