Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh baby spinach
- 0.5 cup, shredded Low-sodium cheese (such as Swiss or mozzarella)
- 1 clove Fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 spritz Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the milk. Whisk together vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
Mince the garlic clove finely.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the spinach in the skillet.
Stir gently with a spatula, pulling the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set.
Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium cheese over the scrambled eggs and spinach, then gently fold it in until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Avoid adding salt to keep the sodium content low.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, accompanied by whole grain toast or your choice of breakfast sides.
