Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 medium bell peppers
- 2 cups spinach
- 0.5 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
Instructions
Start by dicing the bell pepper and onion into small, even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper.
Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the bell pepper softens.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it wilts.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently stirring and folding the eggs with a spatula. Cook until the eggs are scrambled to your desired doneness.
Just before the eggs are fully set, sprinkle the feta cheese on top, folding it slightly into the eggs to combine.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
