  2. 2. Melt half the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the scallion for 30 seconds, add the fresh baby spinach and cook 1 minute until just wilted.

  3. 3. Pour in the eggs and stir gently for 1 to 2 minutes until softly scrambled but still slightly glossy. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.

  4. Assemble and Toast
