Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Prepare the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the green onions, and roughly chop the spinach.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, creating ripples and allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions over the eggs.
Remove from the heat and allow the residual heat to melt the cheese and finish setting the eggs.
Serve the scrambled eggs with vegetables immediately, warm and garnished with extra green onions if desired.
