Ingredients
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
-
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (any variety like cremini, button, or shiitake)
-
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or baby spinach)
-
2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
-
Fresh herbs (optional for garnish, like chives or parsley)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Eggs:
-
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt, pepper, and milk or cream (if using). Set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Mushrooms:
-
Heat the olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and release their moisture. Season with a little salt and pepper.
3️⃣ Add the Spinach:
-
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir until the spinach wilts down and softens, about 1-2 minutes.
4️⃣ Scramble the Eggs:
-
Push the mushrooms and spinach to the side of the skillet and pour the whisked eggs into the empty space.
-
Let the eggs sit for a few moments to start setting around the edges, then gently stir with a spatula, moving the eggs from the edges to the center. Continue stirring gently until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency (about 3-4 minutes).
5️⃣ Finish and Serve:
-
Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese (if using) and stir to combine.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
6️⃣ Serve:
-
Serve the creamy scrambled eggs with mushrooms and spinach hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with a slice of whole-grain toast or avocado for a complete breakfast!
