Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 0.5 cup (diced) zucchini
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 2 stalks (sliced) green onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them together with the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet; sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the baby spinach and sliced green onions to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir and scramble the eggs, folding them over the vegetables.
Continue to stir occasionally until the eggs are just set but still soft and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional sliced green onions or a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper.
