Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 medium, diced onion
- 1 small, diced bell pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then gently fold the eggs with a spatula.
Continue folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and fold it into the scramble until melted and incorporated.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your Easy Core Breakfast Scramble!
