Why You’ll Love This Spinach Scrambled Eggs Recipe
I love having eggs in the morning and eat them almost every single day. They are nutritious and an excellent source of protein, so they keep me feeling full until lunch. On weekday mornings, I usually have fried or plain scrambled eggs. On the weekend however, I like to experiment and cook eggs with various add-ins like different types of cheeses, vegetables and aromatics.
These Scrambled Eggs with Spinach are one of my favorite ways to enjoy eggs. The spinach gives an additional dose of vitamins and minerals, while the goat cheese adds a soft, creamy tang that really takes these scrambled eggs over the top.
How to Make Scrambled Eggs with Spinach
To make homemade spinach scrambled eggs, simply:
- Prepare the eggs: Whisk together the eggs, milk, and a little S&P in a small bowl.
- Cook the spinach: Heat some olive oil in a pan, then add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Add the spinach and saute until wilted.
- Scramble the eggs: Add the egg mixture and cook, scrambling constantly, until the eggs are set.
- Top with cheese: Take the pan off the heat and add the goat cheese. Serve warm.
Since this scrambled eggs recipe only takes 10 minutes to make, it is quick enough for busy weekday mornings. Although, you don’t need to save all this goodness for breakfast time only – this recipe makes an easy, fuss-free brunch, lunch or dinner option as well.

I love eggs too and could eat them every single day without getting sick of them! That being said, it’s wonderful to mix it up a little bit from time to time and this looks like a great way to do just that! I almost always have spinach and goat cheese on hand so this will be happening real soon!!
Thanks so much Katherine! Yay! I’m excited for you to make it! You’ll have to let me know what you think when you do! 🙂
This looks like the perfect breakfast! I would definitely get out of bed for this. 😉 XOXO
Hi Kelly! ♡ Thanks so much! Hope you have a great week! xoxo
Oooo yum! I like doing this with feta, but I bet the goat cheese is just as tasty (and more creamy too!).
Hey Heather! ♡ Oh I haven’t done scrambled eggs with feta before! That would be yummilicious. But yes goat cheese def has just as much flavor, but I feel like any type of cheese would go great with eggs! 🙂
I love mixing vegetables with eggs to make them more wholesome and nutritious! I am wondering, why I have never tried them with spinach? Goat cheese makes them sound so yummy…I am trying this soon. 🙂
Hey Deepika! I do that too, because it makes eggs more tasty and filling as well! Haha, I always have spinach in my fridge so I use it for salads and cooking all the time! You should definitely try this recipe soon and let me know what you think! 🙂
I make this recipe all the time. I found you don’t need to wilt the spinach. I just toss the spinach with the eggs.
