Instructions

Prepare Ingredients
⏱ 0:00Herb Scrambled Eggs
1.Crack the eggs into a small bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk gently with a fork until just combined.
2.Chop the chives finely and set aside.
3.Rinse the spinach and pat dry; slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside for plating.
💡 Whisk eggs lightly to avoid overmixing, which can make them tough when cooked.

Heat Pan for Eggs
⏱ 0:05Herb Scrambled Eggs
1.Place a non-stick pan over low heat (approximately 120°C) and add the butter, allowing it to melt slowly without browning.
2.Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
💡 Keep the heat low to prevent the butter from burning, which can impart a bitter taste to the eggs.

Cook Scrambled Eggs
⏱ 0:07Herb Scrambled Eggs
1.Pour the whisked eggs into the pan over low heat (120°C).
2.Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center every 10-15 seconds for about 2-3 minutes, until they form soft curds and are just undercooked.
3.Remove the pan from heat to let residual heat finish cooking.
💡 Take the eggs off the heat while they’re still slightly runny; they’ll firm up as they sit.
4
Wilt Spinach
⏱ 0:10Wilted Spinach & Avocado
1.In the same pan used for the eggs, add the spinach over low heat (120°C).
2.Stir continuously with a spatula for 30-45 seconds until the leaves just wilt and turn bright green, then remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
💡 Don’t overcrowd the pan with spinach; if needed, wilt in batches to ensure even cooking.
🍽️ Plate the fluffy scrambled eggs in the center, arrange the wilted spinach alongside, and fan the avocado slices on top. Sprinkle chopped chives over everything for a fresh, vibrant finish.
