Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
First, wash and dry the spinach leaves. Set aside.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into small, evenly-sized pieces, about half an inch in size.
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell peppers to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs continuously, allowing them to cook slowly. Scrape the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
Continue stirring until the eggs are just set and still creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately while hot.
