Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Egg whites
- 1 whole Whole egg
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crack the whole egg into a medium bowl and add the egg whites. Add the low-fat milk to the bowl.
Whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined, and season with salt and black pepper.
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray to coat the bottom.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds to set slightly.
With a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight motion, bringing the cooked edges toward the center.
Continue cooking the eggs, stirring gently, for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are softly set.
Stir the wilted spinach back into the scrambled eggs and mix gently to combine.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
