Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 50 ml low-fat milk
- 50 grams baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the low-fat milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté gently for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet. Let it sit, without stirring, for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the cooked eggs from the outside in towards the center. Continue until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Meanwhile, tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the eggs just before they are done cooking to gently heat through.
Fold in the wilted spinach and remove the skillet from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook in the residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates. Sprinkle with fresh dill and drizzle with a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious and high-protein breakfast.
