Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 avocado, cubed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and browned.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the baby spinach to the skillet with the cooked beef and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-sodium vegetable broth until well combined. This will help make the eggs extra fluffy.
Pour the egg mixture over the beef and spinach in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute to slightly set.
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs over in sections until they form soft curds, about 2-3 minutes.
When the eggs are almost cooked to your liking, stir in the cherry tomatoes and season with black pepper.
Continue to cook until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
Divide the scrambled eggs with beef between two plates.
Top each serving with diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and nutrients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy scramble.
