Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion into small pieces.
- Dice the red pepper.
- Rinse and roughly chop the spinach if not already prepped.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to become translucent.
- Add the diced red pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the spinach and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet with the vegetables.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Stir continuously to scramble the eggs with the vegetables, cooking until the eggs are fully set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cooked through and well-mixed with the vegetables, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the spinach scramble hot, directly from the skillet or transfer to plates.
Tips:
- Ensure that your vegetables are chopped uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh spinach for better flavor and nutrient content.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat to avoid burning and to ensure they become tender.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs; they should be soft and slightly creamy.
- You can add cheese for extra flavor and creaminess.
- Serve with whole grain toast or a side of fruit for a complete meal.
