Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika if using, and whisk until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly and become fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables. Let it sit for about 10 seconds without stirring to allow the eggs to begin setting.
Gently stir the eggs using a silicone spatula, folding them over the vegetables. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Once the eggs are nearly set, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and gently fold it into the eggs. Cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts.
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
