Rührei mit Spinat

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 small chopped onion
• 1 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and frothy.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add 1 small chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.

4. 4

   Add the washed spinach to the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the spinach and onions. Allow the eggs to sit for about 30 seconds without stirring.

6. 6

   Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set but still creamy.

7. 7

   If desired, sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated cheese over the scrambled eggs during the last minute of cooking. Allow it to melt slightly.

8. 8

   Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your Rührei mit Spinat warm, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
