Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup dairy-free cheese shreds
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the almond milk. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are fully beaten and the almond milk is incorporated.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the wilted spinach and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until it begins to set at the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding from the edges to the center to create large, soft curds.
After about 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the dairy-free cheese shreds and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the eggs.
Continue to cook the eggs, folding gently, until they reach your desired level of doneness and the cheese starts to melt, about 2-3 more minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
