 Preparation sequence or cooking techniques 

This recipe can be divided into three basic steps: the preparation of the ingredients, cooking the eggs, and finally assembling the dish with piling the fresh toppings.

 

 Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients 

1. Wash the Spinach: Wash the fresh spinach leaves under cold running water and dry using a drier or a clean towel. This is done to ensure that there is no dirt when preparing the greens and to facilitate storage of the greens during cooking. 

2. Cut the Avocado: Take an avocado, cut it into two halves, removing the stone, and cut each half into smaller, even parts. Allow them to stay for now. 

3. Chop the Garlic (optional): For this purpose, one garlic clove can be chopped finely. 

4. Crack and whisk the eggs: Take four large and crack them into a mixing bowl. Put some force and mix till the yolk and whites become one homogenous mass. To achieve a creamier texture, some milk is put in, and the mixing continues, in this case, for approximately 20 seconds.

 

 Step 2: Cooking the Eggs 

1. Warming Up the Pan and Olive Oil: Take a non-stick saucepan, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and heat it up on medium flame. If you want to give a hint of Garlicky infusion, this is where you can add the chopped garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until it is aromatic (mind not to let it burn). 

2. Let us Add Spinach: Put the fresh spinach in the pan and leave it to cook for one to two minutes until it shrinks. Occasionally stir so that the cooking is uniform. 

3. Pour in the Eggs: The addition of wilted spinach is followed by the addition of beaten eggs into the fierce heat of the frying pan. Avail the mix once the eggs are poured in, and wait a few moments before touching it with any spatula. 

4. Season and Stir: To taste, add salt and black pepper seasonings. Reduce the heat and gently stir the eggs as they cook, which is recommended so as to give them a big fluffy soft texture. This should happen within the range of 3 to 5 minutes. 

5. Check for doneness: Once the eggs are cooked to a point (not entirely liquid), then take the skillet off the heat. The eggs will keep on cooking slightly due to the remaining heat.
