Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup onion, diced
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika if using, and whisk until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly and become fragrant.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables. Let it sit for about 10 seconds without stirring to allow the eggs to begin setting.

Step 6

Gently stir the eggs using a silicone spatula, folding them over the vegetables. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Once the eggs are nearly set, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and gently fold it into the eggs. Cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
