Method
Prep
Prepare ingredients
Snip chives and chop parsley. Rinse and roughly chop spinach; halve cherry tomatoes. Grate cheddar if not pre-grated. Measure milk, salt and pepper. Slice bread if needed.
Cook Eggs & Veg
Make soft scrambled eggs
In a bowl whisk together 4 eggs and 1 tbs milk until blended and slightly frothy; season with 1/2 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp of the salt. Return the cleaned skillet to low–medium-low heat and add 1 tbs butter. When butter melts and begins to foam (do not brown), pour in the eggs. Using a silicone spatula, stir slowly and continuously, scraping the bottom and folding the curds every 10–15 seconds so eggs cook gently. After about 2–3 minutes when eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy, stir in the wilted spinach and tomatoes and half the grated cheddar (about 1/4 cup). Continue gently until eggs are just cooked but still moist, 30–60 seconds. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Toast & Assemble
Plate and finish
Place toasted bread on plates. Divide scrambled eggs with spinach and tomatoes evenly over the two slices (or serve on the side). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheddar over the eggs so it melts slightly. Scatter snipped chives and chopped parsley on top. If you like a touch of heat, drizzle 1/2 tsp hot sauce over each serving or serve on the side.
Serving & Storage
Serve immediately while eggs are warm and toast is crisp. Leftovers (extra eggs) can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess.
