Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 medium, diced onion
• 1 small, diced bell pepper
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 0.5 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.

Step 5

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then gently fold the eggs with a spatula.

Step 7

Continue folding the eggs until they are mostly set but still slightly creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and fold it into the scramble until melted and incorporated.

Step 9

Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your Easy Core Breakfast Scramble!
