Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- butter or olive oil , for cooking
Instructions
- Add the eggs, spinach, and salt to a high speed blender, and blend until the mixture looks totally smooth, with no visible chunks of spinach. This should take about 60 seconds.
- Melt a little butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then pour the green egg mixture into the pan. Let the eggs sit on the pan for a few seconds, then drag a spatula through the eggs to move them around the pan, from side to side.
- Continue moving the eggs around the pan with the spatula often, to prevent the eggs from drying out. They should be cooked through in about 3 minutes or so.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and serve warm right away with your favorite sides.

- Tip: Try topping these scrambled eggs with green salsa, for even more flavor. (I love the Salsa Verde from Trader Joe's.)
