Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté until it is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit, without stirring, for about 30 seconds, allowing the eggs to begin setting around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, forming soft curds. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the eggs are cooked through but still creamy and slightly runny.
Sprinkle sweet paprika evenly over the scrambled eggs and fold gently to incorporate its flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately, seasoned to taste if needed.
