Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Skim milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 Avocado, diced
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and beat them together with the skim milk or almond milk until well blended.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Once the oil is warm, add the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Allow the edges to set slightly.
As the eggs start to set, gently push the eggs from the edges to the center using a spatula, forming soft curds.
Sprinkle in the salt and pepper as you stir, ensuring even distribution.
Continue to cook, gently stirring and folding the eggs over themselves, until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and moist.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the diced avocado.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
