2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and gently scramble them, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until just set.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh spinach, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted.
