Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, bringing the cooked edges toward the center while tilting the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the outer edges.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Continue to cook for about 1 more minute until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked to your liking.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the scramble to serving plates.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb classic egg scramble!
