Spinach scramble with red pepper and onion

Spinach scramble with red pepper and onion is a quick and nutritious breakfast or brunch option. This dish combines fresh vegetables and protein-rich eggs, making it a balanced meal that is both delicious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
1 cup spinach
30g
1/4 cup onion
40g
1/2 red pepper
24g
2 eggs
100g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Chop the onion into small pieces.
- Dice the red pepper.
- Rinse and roughly chop the spinach if not already prepped.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- 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.
4. Add the Spinach:
- Stir in the spinach and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
5. Scramble the Eggs:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.

This spinach scramble with red pepper and onion is not only simple to make but also packed with nutrients. By following these tips and steps, you can enjoy a wholesome, flavorful meal that's perfect for any time of the day.
