Instructions
 

How to Make Healthy Mushroom Spinach Scrambled Eggs

  • Rinse your baby spinach under cold water and drain well. Trim any long stems if desired. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly until just combined and frothy.
  • In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mushrooms, seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms turn golden brown and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the rinsed spinach to your skillet, stirring for just a minute until it wilts. Then, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Gently stir everything together with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are softly set but still a little runny.
  • Serve your delightful Healthy Mushroom Spinach Scrambled Eggs warm, either on their own or alongside a light salad for a refreshing touch.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor.
