Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the red bell pepper and chop the fresh spinach into smaller pieces. Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, add the diced bell peppers.
Sauté the bell peppers for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and continue to cook for about 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach has wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring that it evenly coats the surface of the pan.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs occasionally, pushing the mixture from the edges towards the center. Continue to cook until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, about 2-3 minutes.
If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and stir until the cheese melts and is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to perfection.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly scrambled eggs warm.
