Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 2 green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the low-fat milk, ground black pepper, and sea salt, then whisk together until well combined.
Wash and dice the red bell pepper, ensuring the seeds are removed. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Rinse and roughly chop the spinach leaves. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and the white parts of the green onions, sautéing until the bell pepper softens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently with a spatula. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, gently stirring and folding the eggs and vegetables together until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
Sprinkle the green parts of the green onions over the scrambled eggs. Serve immediately for a hot, satisfying breakfast.
