Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Onion
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the onion and chopping the fresh parsley. Rinse and pat dry the spinach if not pre-washed.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the egg whites. Whisk them together with the milk until well combined. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the egg mixture and whisk again.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and starts to caramelize, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the onions. Stir occasionally until the spinach wilts down, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently with a spatula to combine with the onions and spinach.
Continue to slowly stir the eggs, using a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan as the eggs cook. This will help achieve soft, creamy scrambled eggs.
Once the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to perfection.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the scrambled eggs and give it a final stir. Serve immediately onto plates and enjoy a healthy, high-protein start to your day.
