Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups spinach
- 4 strips vegetarian bacon
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the vegetarian bacon strips in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined.
Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and whisk again to incorporate evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted.
Add the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, forming soft curds. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped vegetarian bacon over the eggs.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and allow the eggs to fully set, being careful not to overcook them.
Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
