Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup canned black beans
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 2 green onions
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned black beans, then set aside.
Chop the cherry tomatoes in half and slice the green onions thinly. Set them aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped green onions to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they're fragrant and softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the pan, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow it to set for 10-15 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them across the pan to form soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the black beans and continue to gently stir until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Remove the pan from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs with beans hot, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
