Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add almond milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk the mixture until it's well combined and slightly frothy.
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is melted and the skillet is hot, add the halved cherry tomatoes.
Sauté the tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit, undisturbed, for about 30 seconds until it begins to set around the edges.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding them over onto themselves until they reach your desired level of doneness. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with extra black pepper if desired.
