Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 cup onion
- 0.5 medium tomato
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Dice the onion and add it to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
Meanwhile, chop the tomato and set it aside.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk them until they are well beaten.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the onion and sauté for 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the spinach and stir gently with a spatula.
Add the chopped tomato to the skillet and continue to stir the eggs occasionally to scramble them, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they are fully cooked but still soft.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs hot.
