Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium-sized ripe tomato
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the unsweetened almond milk. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Dice the tomato into small cubes, ensuring to discard any excess seeds to prevent the scrambled eggs from becoming too watery.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced tomato to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, until they start to soften.
Stir in the fresh spinach, cooking until just wilted, about 1 minute.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the edges to set slightly before using a spatula to gently scrape and fold the eggs from the edges to the center.
Continue cooking the eggs over medium-low heat, folding them gently until they are cooked to your desired consistency. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped chives.
