Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Vegetables & Flavorings
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Instructions
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly softened.
- Add Garlic and Spinach: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté for another minute until wilted.
- Scramble the Eggs: Lower the heat to medium-low. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan, stirring gently with a spatula. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set.
- Add Cheese and Serve: If using cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs and stir until melted. Remove from heat while the eggs are still slightly soft, as they will continue cooking from residual heat. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- For creamier eggs, substitute milk with cream or half-and-half.
- Feel free to add herbs like chives or parsley for extra freshness.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Cheese is optional but adds delicious creaminess and extra protein.
- Cook eggs gently on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture.
