Ingredients
- 12 egg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 11 ounces baby spinach (or kale)
- 15 ounce black beans drained and rinsed, canned
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 scallion minced, bunch
- 2.5 ounces cheddar cheese shredded sharp
- avocado (cilantro and cherry tomatoes – optional garnish)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with 2 tablespoons water plus salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high and spray with cooking spray. Sauté spinach until wilted, 2-3 minutes.
- Add black beans, cumin and oregano to the pan and stir until warmed through; remove from heat and pour into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour eggs over the bean and spinach mixture then sprinkle with scallions. Use a fork to stir mixture once so that the spinach and scallions are fully coated in the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top of egg mixture then bake for 35 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.
- Serve warm or let cool completely before slicing and refrigerating to enjoy at a later time.
