Quick Summary
A masterpiece of texture and health. We pair fluffy, slow-cooked eggs with iron-rich baby spinach, creating a breakfast that fuels your body with pure, authentic quality.
Ingredients
- 8 large pasture-raised eggs
- 2 tbsp organic grass-fed butter
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 clove garlic, thinly shaved
- Sea salt & cracked black pepper
- Optional: A sprinkle of chives
The Method
- 01. Whisk eggs gently with a pinch of sea salt until the yolks and whites are merely acquainted.
- 02. In a pan over medium heat, melt a knob of butter. Sauté the shaved garlic until fragrant, then add the spinach.
- 03. Wilt the spinach for 60 seconds. Remove from the pan immediately to keep the color vibrant.
- 04. Lower the heat. Add the remaining butter to the pan. Pour in the eggs.
- 05. Use a silicone spatula to pull the eggs gently. Fold them until soft, custardy curds form. Fold in the spinach at the final second.
Stewart's Secret: Never let the pan get too hot. Patience yields a texture akin to heavy cream. Remove the eggs while they still look slightly wet—the residual heat will finish the magic on the plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my eggs turn watery?
You likely cooked them too fast. Use lower heat and constant motion for a thick, custard-like consistency.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely. Swap the butter for extra virgin olive oil or high-quality avocado oil.
How do I keep the spinach from getting mushy?
Only wilt it until it just collapses. Adding it at the very end prevents excess liquid from diluting the eggs.
