- 0.25 cup tomato, diced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs continuously, sweeping from the edges to the center, to ensure even cooking.
