Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • ¼ cup baby spinach roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup baby bella mushrooms chopped
  • ¼ cup tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Make sure to use a nonstick pan!
  2. Once the pan is hot add spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, sauteeing for 3-4 minutes until veggies start to soften.
  3. Reduce heat to medium low then slowly pour egg whites into the skillet with the veggies. Season with salt and pepper. Let the egg whites cook undisturbed for a minute or two until the eggs whites start to turn an opaque white. Then using a silicone spatula begin to push the eggs toward the center and back towards the edges in a push and pull motion to scramble the eggs. Continue with this process until the eggs are no longer in liquid form and they are cooked through.
  4. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Add cheese: Add shredded cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack right before the egg whites are fully set for a gooey, cheesey scramble.
  • Swap the veggies: Aren't a fan of mushrooms or have different veggies on hand? Use what you have!
  • Add herbs: Stir in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, rosemary or dill towards the end of cooking for a burst of freshness.
  • Add spice: Include chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes in the scramble for those who like a bit of heat.
  • Add protein: Toss in pre-cooked diced ham, cooked bacon or sausage for added protein and flavor.
