Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup (diced) zucchini
- 0.25 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly with the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing them to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges, then gently stir with a spatula to scramble them.
Once the eggs are halfway cooked, add the sautéed vegetables back into the skillet and sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Gently fold the mixture together, cooking until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates. Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
