Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup skim milk
- 1 spritz cooking spray
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined and frothy.
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cool, chop the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the chopped spinach and green onions to the skillet, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Lightly season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs, stirring gently with a spatula to create curds, for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are set and cooked to your liking.
Stir the chopped turkey bacon into the scrambled eggs and vegetables.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your healthy, low-fat scrambled eggs with vegetables and bacon!
