Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Toss in the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to become tender but still crisp.
Add the spinach to the skillet and stir gently until it begins to wilt.
Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables in the skillet and allow them to cook for a minute undisturbed.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs slowly to form soft curds, cooking until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the scrambled eggs and vegetables with salt and black pepper.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
