Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (diced) yellow onion
- 1 cup (chopped) spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds.
Gently stir the eggs using a silicone or wooden spatula, pushing the cooked parts from the edges to the center and allowing the uncooked eggs to flow outward.
Continue stirring occasionally, ensuring the eggs cook evenly. This should take about 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are softly set but still slightly creamy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and fold gently to incorporate the cheese as it melts. Remove the skillet from heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with additional paprika or fresh herbs if desired.
