Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, add unsweetened almond milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Dice the green bell pepper into small cubes, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely mince the garlic.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until the bell pepper softens slightly.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently fold and scramble the eggs, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until they set to your desired consistency.
Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if you want a bit of spice, then serve immediately.
