The combination of healthy green leafy vegetables with eggs will keep you full after breakfast or brunch and at the same time it’s easy to prepare, simple, healthy and delicious as well. This can also be enjoyed as a great side dish or healthy snack if you like! This delicious spinach scrambled eggs are also great to serve along with toast, pancakes, crepes etc for breakfast or brunch instead of potatoes!

By hard scrambling the eggs, we usually scramble the eggs until they are completely dry and lightly browned which is perfect for this recipe. This takes slightly longer time compared to making soft scrambled eggs but you may go for soft scrambled eggs and cook for lesser time as well if that is your preference. An iron skillet is just perfect to make delicious hard scrambled eggs but you can use a griddle or good quality non stick pans also as they work just fine as well.

You can also stuff this scrambled eggs and spinach to make delicious and easy sandwiches, burritos etc, or you can have toasted bread on the side if you want to add some carbs to this.

This is a meatless vegetarian recipe as well since we use only eggs, spinach leaves and few other ingredients in the preparation.

I used a good quality iron skillet to make this delicious spinach and egg scramble.

The skillet is great for making scrambled eggs, omelettes, sauteed vegetables, stir fries and so much more!

The best part about the spinach and egg scramble is that it is so quick and easy to make and you do not even need to cut any veggies.

We just wash the fresh spinach leaves (you can use regular spinach leaves or baby spinach leaves or even use frozen spinach leaves) and saute or stir fry the leaves until the leaves are lightly cooked and then we add in the eggs.

We also use olive oil, salt, black pepper powder and onion powder for more flavor.

If you wish, you may also add more spices like garlic powder or fresh garlic, oregano etc based on your preferences.

How To Make Hard Scrambled Eggs With Spinach In Cast Iron Skillet?

We use the following ingredients to make scrambled eggs with spinach, which is an easy vegetarian egg recipe for breakfast.

Ingredients to make scrambled eggs with spinach

2 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach leaves (I used baby spinach leaves)

salt as needed (only need a little otherwise it will turn salty)

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon black pepper powder optional

Step By Step Instructions

Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the onion powder and little salt, mix well.

Add one tablespoon of oil in an iron skillet, bring the skillet to medium heat and add the spinach (you may use a griddle or just a good quality non stick pan as well).

Stir fry the spinach leaves for about a minute or until the spinach begins to wilt.

Add the egg mixture over the wilted spinach leaves, using a spoon gently move the leaves across the egg mixture so they will be uniformly spread in the egg mixture.

Lower the heat and let the mixture cook for a couple of minutes until the mixture sets slightly.

Once the mixture is lightly set and the top looks slightly cooked, using a spatula gently flip from the sides and gently scramble the mixture to slightly large sized pieces (do not scramble too much and make into too small pieces as the spinach leaves should be covered with the cooked eggs for the best texture and taste).

Add the remaining one tablespoon of oil and let the mixture cook for another one more minute.

Scramble the contents using the spatula, to medium sized pieces and let this fry for another 1 more minute.

Stir and cook for another couple of minutes in low heat or until the scrambled mixture starts to brown.

Sprinkle with black pepper powder if using, serve the delicious egg and spinach scramble hot for a delicious breakfast, brunch, snack or dinner!

Notes: You can make this scramble in a non stick pan too, but using a good iron skillet gives you the best results with respect to the flavor and texture. Also using a good steel spatula helps to make the scrambles easily in the iron skillet.

Make sure not to scramble the contents too much making the pieces too small, as the scramble tastes the best when scrambled into medium sized pieces which are lightly browned covering the spinach leaves.
