Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 handful spinach, chopped
• 1 cup cooked ham or sausage, diced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the milk. Whisk until well combined and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Step 6

Add the diced cooked ham or sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to incorporate it with the vegetables and protein.

Step 8

As the eggs begin to set, continue stirring gently to form soft curds, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.

Step 9

When the eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly soft, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.

Step 10

Season the scramble with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
