Spinach Scrambled Eggs: The Perfect Breakfast
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.

ooooh 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 🙂
