Rinse and pat dry the spinach to remove excess water. Slice the mushrooms thinly and finely chop the chives.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk. Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and any liquid has evaporated.
Add the spinach to the mushrooms and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach and mushrooms. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a sweeping motion, scraping the skillet occasionally to form creamy curds.
Continue cooking until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat when they are still slightly runny as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Season with ground black pepper and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately for a delicious and nutritious low sodium breakfast.
