Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to create this hearty breakfast dish:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or feta)
I’m all about substitutions here. Don’t have fresh spinach? Frozen works just fine. No mushrooms? Try bell peppers or tomatoes. Cooking is about making do with what you have and enjoying the process.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps and you’ll have breakfast ready in no time:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they’re translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re softened and golden brown.
- Toss in the chopped spinach and let it wilt down, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves.
- If using, sprinkle the cheese over the eggs and cook until they’re just set but still a bit runny for that creamy texture.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite toast or breakfast sides.
Cooking tip: Keep the heat on the lower side to ensure creamy, soft eggs. High heat will turn them rubbery and dry, and nobody wants that!
