Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup spinach
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the bell pepper and the onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Rinse and pat dry the spinach.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the bell pepper to the onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften, about 2 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring gently with a rubber spatula. Cook, occasionally pushing the eggs from the edge of the pan towards the center, until they are softly scrambled and barely set, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Fold the eggs gently to distribute the cheese throughout as it begins to melt.
Remove the skillet from the heat once the cheese is melted, and the eggs are fully cooked to your preferred consistency.
Serve the scrambled eggs warm, garnished with additional cheese or herbs if desired.
