Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 medium bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, then whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt completely.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute until it wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Stir gently with a spatula to form curds and avoid over-stirring.
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the residual heat melt the cheese and finish cooking the eggs.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
