Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cups yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cups spinach leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables.
Allow the eggs to cook for about 30 seconds without stirring, then use a spatula to gently fold and scramble the eggs.
Once the eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly moist, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
