Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 1 cup, sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups, loosely packed spinach
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 0.5 cup, crumbled cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to release their moisture and soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it wilts.
If using cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, stir it into the vegetable mixture at this stage.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the cooked eggs from the edges to the center.
Continue stirring every 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the eggs to cook evenly and scramble to your desired consistency. This should take about 4–5 minutes.
When the eggs are nearly set but still moist, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the scramble. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious skillet scramble!
