Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams lean ground beef
- 6 large egg whites
- 2 large whole eggs
- 50 ml skim milk
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped red bell pepper
- 50 grams, fresh spinach
- as needed olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by prepping all your ingredients: finely chop the onion and red bell pepper, and measure out the spinach.
In a medium non-stick skillet, lightly spray with olive oil and place over medium heat.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula until it's browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes until they become tender.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, skim milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring with a spatula.
Once eggs begin to set, add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet.
Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set but still moist, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients.
Serve the scrambled eggs with ground beef immediately, savoring this healthy, protein-rich breakfast dish.
