Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Lemon juice, for garnish

Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the spinach and chopping it roughly. Dice the avocado and set it aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

    Heat the Pan: In a medium non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat until it melts and coats the pan.

      Sauté the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

        Cook the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the spinach. Allow the eggs to start setting around the edges, then gently stir with a spatula. Cook gently for about 3-4 minutes, until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny.

          Add Avocado: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the diced avocado. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix gently to combine.

            Serve: Spoon the scrambled eggs onto a plate. Drizzle a little lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with fresh herbs for garnish. Serve immediately with toast or on its own.
