Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup onion
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the skim milk. Beat the eggs and milk together with a fork or whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the chopped red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 1 minute until they start to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the vegetables.
Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center as they begin to set.
Continue to cook until the eggs are softly scrambled, slightly firm, and no longer runny.
Sprinkle the scrambled eggs with crumbled feta cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Give the mixture one final gentle stir and remove from heat.
Serve the high protein scrambled eggs with vegetables immediately, garnished with additional feta cheese if desired.
