Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the 2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Wash and roughly chop the spinach if needed.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice or dice half of it, setting it aside for later.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and give it a short spray of cooking oil.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until it wilts down. Transfer the wilted spinach to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the whisked eggs to the same skillet.
- Let the eggs sit without stirring for a few seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, creating soft folds. Continue this process, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny.
- When the eggs are almost done, stir in the wilted spinach. Cook together for another minute, or until the eggs are fully set but still soft and creamy.
- Transfer the spinach scrambled eggs to serving plates.
- Top with the sliced or diced avocado.
- Optionally, garnish with a dollop of pesto or additional herbs for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately, while the eggs are hot and the avocado is fresh.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute the 1% fat milk with a dairy-free alternative such as almond milk or oat milk for a different taste.
- Make sure to wash and dry the spinach thoroughly before adding it to the eggs.
- For an extra creamy texture, gently fold the avocado into the scrambled eggs just before they finish cooking.
- Consider adding a touch of salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
- Serve with whole grain toast or a side salad to make it a more filling meal.
