Mushroom-Spinach Scrambled Eggs
Description
The recipe begins by whisking eggs and egg whites with water and seasoning to lighten and blend the mixture. Onions are sautéed in olive oil until golden, followed by mushrooms until tender. Fresh baby spinach is then added and wilted just before the eggs are poured in.
The eggs are gently cooked with the vegetables, stirring until just set to retain softness. Cheese can be stirred in at the end to melt lightly, adding a subtle richness that complements the earthiness of mushrooms and brightness of spinach.
This dish is quick to prepare and provides a balance of protein and vegetables, suitable for a wholesome morning meal. It can be served with toast or fresh fruit.
