FAQs
1. Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh spinach?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding it to the skillet to avoid making the eggs watery.
2. How can I make this dish dairy-free?
To make it dairy-free, simply omit the feta cheese or replace it with a dairy-free alternative. You can also skip the milk in the eggs.
3. What’s the best way to store leftover scrambled eggs?
It’s best to eat scrambled eggs fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on low heat.
4. Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can add mushrooms, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or onions. Just sauté them with the spinach before adding the eggs.
5. How can I make the eggs fluffier?
For extra fluffy eggs, whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, and cook them on low heat while stirring gently. Adding a splash of milk or cream can also help!
