Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs (rich in protein and essential nutrients)
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (makes the eggs fluffy)
- Salt and pepper to taste (enhances overall taste)
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (adds savory umami flavor)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (packed with vitamins and minerals)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (boosts flavor)
Cooking Fat & Cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (prevents sticking and enhances flavor)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional) (adds creaminess and extra protein)
Instructions
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly softened.
- Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté for another minute until wilted.
- Scramble the Eggs: Lower the heat to medium-low. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan, stirring gently with a spatula. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set.
- Add Cheese and Serve: If using cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs and stir until melted. Remove from heat while the eggs are still slightly soft, as they will continue cooking from residual heat. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to swap milk with any plant-based milk if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of cheese or omit it for a lower-fat option.
- Serve with whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
- Cooking on medium-low heat helps prevent overcooking and keeps eggs tender.
