📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Prepare your vegetables: halve cherry tomatoes, finely dice red onion and bell pepper, and roughly chop spinach. Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add milk, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. 3
    Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture.
  4. 4
    Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set. Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  5. 5
    Continue gently pushing and folding for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still moist and fluffy. Do not overcook.
  6. 6
    Just before removing from heat, add the chopped spinach to the skillet and toss with the warm eggs until wilted, about 30 seconds.
  7. 7
    Divide the scrambled eggs and spinach between two bowls. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, bell pepper, and sliced or diced avocado over the eggs.
  8. 8
    Garnish with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and chopped fresh chives or parsley. Add a dash of hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

💡 Notes

For meal prep, chop vegetables ahead of time. For a vegan version, swap eggs for a seasoned tofu scramble and omit feta. Adjust spice levels with more or less red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Consider adding other protein like cooked chicken sausage or black beans for an even heartier bowl.
