Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 from 2 large eggs Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the egg whites. Use a fork or whisk to beat them until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Stir in low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper to the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, stirring occasionally, as the eggs cook. Ensure that the eggs form soft curds.
Cook until the eggs are set to your preferred level of doneness, but avoid overcooking to maintain a creamy texture.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped chives over the scrambled eggs.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
