What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For creamier eggs, use low heat and stir constantly. This breaks the curds into smaller pieces for a softer texture.
- 2Avoid overcooking. The eggs should be soft and slightly moist when you take them off the heat.
- 3Feel free to add other vegetables like diced onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers. Sauté them before adding the spinach.
- 4A small amount of cheese, like feta or parmesan, can be folded in at the very end for extra flavor.
