Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Tomatoes
This healthy and delicious breakfast recipe features fluffy scrambled eggs with sautéed spinach and juicy tomatoes. It’s a nutritious way to start your day with a boost of protein, vitamins, and antioxidants.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Shredded cheese, such as cheddar or feta, for added flavor (quantity as per preference)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well using a fork or whisk. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper according to your taste.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté until it wilts, which will take about 1-2 minutes.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until they become slightly soft.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the spinach and tomatoes. Stir gently with a spatula to combine the ingredients.
Cook the scrambled eggs while continuously stirring until they are just set and no liquid egg remains in the skillet. Be careful not to overcook to keep the eggs moist and fluffy.
Optional: If desired, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the scrambled eggs during the last minute of cooking to add a delightful cheesy flavor.
Once the eggs are fully cooked, transfer the scrambled eggs with spinach and tomatoes to a plate.
Serve the scrambled eggs warm as a delightful and wholesome breakfast option.
TIPS
Customize the recipe by adding other vegetables of your choice, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, for extra flavor and nutrients.
For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or your favorite hot sauce.
Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also substitute cherry tomatoes with regular diced tomatoes if desired.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Pair the scrambled eggs with whole-grain toast, avocado slices, or a side of fresh fruit to create a well-rounded breakfast.
