Step-by-step

1. Squeeze out all the excess water from the spinach. (You should end up with just about 43 g/ 1.5 oz drained spinach per serving.)

   

2. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with salt and pepper until just combined. Chop the drained spinach and set aside.

   

3. Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Using a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, gently push the edges into the middle of the pan. The uncooked runny eggs should spill out and coat the base of the pan.

4. After just about a minute, add the chopped spinach. Cook until the eggs are just set, and then remove from heat.

   

5. To serve, place the eggs on a plate and add the smoked salmon. Sprinkle with chives and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
