Spinach Scrambled Eggs – High‑Protein Breakfast
These spinach scrambled eggs are a quick, high‑protein breakfast that’s simple, nourishing, and naturally gluten‑free.
This healthy gluten-free breakfast is made with only 4 ingredients and is the perfect high-protein breakfast. It is super easy to make, and you can add different ingredients to change up the flavour.
Some of the variations that I have made include, chorizo and eggs scramble, curry scrambled eggs or these turmeric scrambled eggs.
These spinach eggs recipe also works well as part of a Healthy Breakfast Salad.
WHY THESE SPINACH EGGS ARE HIGH-PROTEIN
These eggs are naturally high in protein because eggs themselves are one of the most complete, nutrient‑dense protein sources you can add to your breakfast. Each egg contains a generous amount of high‑quality protein that helps keep you full, supports muscle health, and gives you steady energy throughout the morning.
When you pair the eggs with spinach, veggies, or your favourite gluten‑free sides, you’re adding even more nutrients without complicating the recipe. It’s an easy way to start the day with a satisfying, protein‑rich meal that still feels light and simple.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED
- Eggs
- Spinach
- Grass-fed butter
- Herbamare seasoning (but you could substitute with another seasoning or even salt and pepper)
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
Making these scrambled eggs is really easy.
Basically, you melt the butter in a frypan over moderate heat. Then you add the spinach and mix it through the butter until it has wilted, then you add the whisked eggs and seasoning and cook until you get your preferred egg consistency.
I highly recommend that you keep moving the eggs while they are cooking. I like to use a spatula or wooden spoon and keep moving the eggs to the center.
FAQs for Spinach Scrambled Eggs
Can I add extra veggies or protein?
Absolutely. These eggs work well with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, or even leftover roasted veggies. You can also add smoked salmon, cooked chicken, or tofu for an extra protein boost.
Can I make these eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can cook them ahead and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave so they stay soft and fluffy
What’s the best way to avoid overcooking the eggs?
Cook them on medium heat and stir gently. Remove them from the heat just before they’re fully set. They will finish cooking from the residual heat
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
These high‑protein eggs are incredibly versatile and work with almost anything you love for breakfast or brunch. Serve them with fresh spinach, avocado, or roasted veggies for a nourishing, balanced meal.
They’re also great on gluten‑free toast, wrapped in a gluten‑free tortilla, or paired with a simple side salad if you want something a little more filling. For a lighter option, enjoy them on their own with a sprinkle of herbs or chilli flakes

The Spinach Scrambled Eggs were so easy to make & cook & it was delicious. I also added some 100% Parmesan Cheese (shaved) .I will definitely make it again.

Thank you so much. It is one of my faves
I added 1/2 tsp of organic mined garlic from a jar with olive oil and after cooking I added 1/2oz fresh grated parm cheese. I used one whole package of organic spinach….likely 4 cups vice 2 but still tasted great!
