  1. 01

    Toast the bread until golden and crispy. Set aside.

    Crack the 6 eggs into a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons milk, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk until combined.

  3. 03

    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

    Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  5. 05

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Let it sit for 10 seconds, then gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula. Repeat every 10–15 seconds until the eggs are soft and creamy but set, about 3–4 minutes total.

Spice Tips

For warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture before cooking—it's classic with spinach and cream. A sprinkle of cayenne or red pepper flakes adds gentle heat. Fresh lemon zest or a crack of fresh black pepper over the finished plate brightens the flavors.
