Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 4 strips lean turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Begin by cracking the eggs into a bowl, and add the egg whites. Whisk together with the skim milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in salt, black pepper, and onion powder to the egg mixture. Set aside.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Chop the turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and add to the skillet. Cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the bacon and sauté until the spinach is wilted, approximately 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, and pour the egg mixture over the spinach and bacon in the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs slowly once they begin to set, dragging in the edges to small curds until the mixture is thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, seasoning with more black pepper if desired.
