Method
- Roughly chop the spinach into about 1-inch pieces.
- Crack the 4 large eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Whisk until just combined – aim for ribbons of white and yellow for a classic scramble, or whisk longer for a uniform color.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it softens and wilts.
- Push the wilted spinach to the sides of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the center. As the eggs begin to set, gently fold them with a spatula. Continue folding until the eggs are about 75% cooked (still slightly wet).
- Fold the eggs into the spinach. Turn off the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a perfect, tender consistency without drying them out.
- Top the scramble with crumbled feta cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Serve immediately.
