Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk until completely uniform, then season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Slice onion thinly. Roughly chop spinach if clumpy.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 10-inch cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high. Add butter, swirling until it foams, ~60 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter spinach over onion and stir until completely wilted, ~30 seconds. Spread in an even layer.

  6. Step 6

    Pour whisked eggs over vegetables. Do not stir. Cook on stovetop 3–4 minutes until edges set but center jiggles.

  7. Step 7

    Sprinkle cheese and fresh herbs across the top. Broil 4 inches from heat until the center is just set, 2–3 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    Remove from oven. Let rest in skillet 1 minute, then slide onto a cutting board.

  9. Step 9

    Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
