Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 tablespoons green onion
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the low-fat milk and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk until the eggs and milk are fully combined and frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until it just begins to wilt.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges before stirring gently with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges toward the center.
Continue to cook and stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Fold in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1 minute until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Divide the egg scramble between two plates.
Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving.
