Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs lightly beaten
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 to 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 medium tomato diced small
  • Optional: chopped onions mushrooms, zucchini, or cooked vegetables
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined, then set aside.
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 30–60 seconds, just until it begins to wilt.
  • Scatter the diced tomatoes evenly over the spinach, along with any additional vegetables or cheese if using.
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, making sure they spread evenly across the pan.
  • Cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is lightly cooked.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3–5 minutes, watching closely, until the top is set and lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven slightly before it looks fully done, as it will continue to cook from residual heat.
  • Let it rest for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh spinach for the best texture, but frozen spinach can work if well-drained.
Avoid overcooking under the broiler by checking frequently, as it can brown quickly.
For extra flavor, sauté onions or garlic before adding the spinach.
Add cheese for a richer taste, or keep it dairy-free for a lighter version.
You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
Serve with toast, salad, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
