Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the butter?

Yes, olive oil or avocado oil works well, though butter provides a richer flavor profile.

Why do my eggs turn watery?

Too much heat or overcooking will cause the eggs to release their moisture. Keep the heat low.

How do I keep the spinach from getting slimy?

Add the spinach only at the very end or wilt it quickly before adding the eggs.
