???? Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Optional: fresh herbs like chives or parsley for garnish
???? Instructions
1. Sauté Mushrooms and Spinach
In a non-stick skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and browned.
Add chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Prepare Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Cook Eggs
Return skillet to medium-low heat and pour in egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs from edges to center.
4. Add Veggies and Cheese
When eggs are about halfway cooked, add the sautéed mushrooms and spinach. Continue cooking and gently stirring until eggs are softly set but still moist.
If using cheese, sprinkle it on top and let it melt before removing from heat.
5. Serve
Transfer to plates and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
???? Variation (From Me!)
???? Creamy Goat Cheese & Herb Scramble
Add crumbled goat cheese and fresh thyme or dill to the eggs for an elegant flavor boost.
???? Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh, firm mushrooms for best texture and flavor.
- Don’t overcook eggs — remove from heat while still slightly runny; they will continue to cook off the heat.
- For extra richness, add a splash of cream instead of milk.
- Serve with toasted whole-grain bread or avocado slices for a balanced breakfast.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a little kick.
