Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 6 pieces grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Slice the grape tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet, cooking for another minute.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the sautéed spinach and tomatoes.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the cooked portions toward the center of the pan.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top.
Continue cooking for about another minute until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set to your liking.
Transfer the scrambled egg mixture to a plate and serve hot.
