Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ medium red onion or shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
  • ¾ cup cheddar or gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-low until foaming, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and light golden, 4–5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add greens and cook, stirring, until wilted and any moisture evaporates, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl, then pour into the skillet and scatter cheese over top.

  5. 5

    Cook undisturbed over medium-low heat until the edges are set and light golden but the center jiggles, 6–8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Slide under a preheated broiler for 2–3 minutes until the top is just set and edges are browned.
