Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, or until just wilted.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach and tomatoes.
Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center of the skillet. Continue this motion until the eggs are softly set, about 4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh basil.
Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein start to the day!
