Ingredients:

5 eggs
250g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
8.33 cups spinach
250g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 cups mushrooms
140g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Cook Mushrooms:
- 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.
3. Add Spinach:
- Add the spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted.
4. Scramble Eggs:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.

In just a few simple steps, you can create a delightful spinach and mushroom egg scramble that's both delicious and packed with nutrients. By following these tips and the easy-to-follow recipe, you'll have a flavorful dish ready in no time.
