This delicious scramble of spinach and eggs is perfect for brunch. With lots of fresh spinach, onions, and parmesan, it is also very flavorful!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion

    Sliced and separated into rings

  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    divided

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan

    grated; 1 ounce

  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

    2 ounces

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the onion slices. Sprinkle them with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium. 

  3. 3

    While the onion is cooking, whisk the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan in a medium bowl. Set aside. 

  4. 4

    When the onions are golden brown, add the spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook, stirring, just until the leaves begin to wilt, about 1 minute. Don't overcook the spinach.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook the eggs over medium heat, pushing them back and forth with a rubber spatula, until set to your liking.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the scramble with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

About this Recipe

Ready for a delicious and incredibly flavorful start to your day? This Spinach and Eggs Scramble is your answer, transforming simple ingredients into a satisfying brunch or breakfast that truly shines.

Why This Scramble Works

What makes this recipe stand out is its commitment to flavor from fresh, wholesome ingredients. By gently sautéing sliced onions and then folding in a generous amount of fresh baby spinach, you build a savory base that perfectly complements the rich eggs. A touch of grated Parmesan cheese elevates the entire dish, adding a salty, umami depth that's simply irresistible, making it far more than just scrambled eggs.

Expect a scramble that's both light and remarkably satisfying. The eggs cook up fluffy and tender, cradling vibrant, wilted spinach and soft, sweet onions. Each bite offers a delightful balance of savory egg, fresh greens, and that irresistible cheesy finish, with a subtle warmth from the red pepper flakes. It’s a comforting meal that feels both wholesome and indulgent, perfect for powering you through the morning.

Customization & Variations

While delicious as is, you can easily tweak this scramble to your liking. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat, from just a hint to a more fiery kick. For extra cheesiness, feel free to increase the amount of Parmesan or even stir in a different grated hard cheese for a unique flavor profile. If you love fresh greens, you can certainly add more baby spinach to the pan—it wilts down significantly.

This Spinach and Eggs Scramble is perfectly suited for a leisurely weekend brunch or a quick, protein-packed weekday breakfast. Serve it alongside a slice of toasted artisanal bread, a side of fresh fruit, or even a simple green salad for a complete and delightful meal.
