Spinach and mushroom egg scramble is a delicious and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This recipe combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms and the fresh taste of spinach with protein-rich eggs, creating a dish that is both satisfying and healthy. It's quick to prepare, making it a perfect option for busy mornings or a light meal anytime during the day.
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a dash of salt and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly and pat dry. If the leaves are large, give them a rough chop.
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, then slice them if they aren't already pre-sliced.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
- Add the spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the spinach and mushrooms in the skillet.
- Allow the eggs to sit for a few moments until they begin to set around the edges.
- Gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula, ensuring that the spinach and mushrooms are evenly incorporated into the eggs.
- Continue cooking and gently stirring until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with a little more salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve the spinach and mushroom egg scramble hot, straight from the skillet.
Tips:
- Beat the eggs thoroughly before cooking to ensure a fluffy texture.
- Preheat the pan with olive oil to make sure the vegetables cook evenly and don’t stick.
- Cook the mushrooms first to release their moisture before adding the spinach and eggs.
- Add the spinach last to retain its vibrant green color and nutrients.
- Sauté the spinach just until wilted to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
- Season the eggs with a dash of salt and black pepper according to your taste.
