Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup spinach
• 5 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 1 quarter cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 slice whole-grain bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling slightly.

Step 3

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until it begins to wilt.

Step 4

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet, cooking for another minute.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 30 seconds to start setting.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir and scramble the eggs while combining them with the spinach and tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and remove from heat, allowing the residual warmth to melt the cheese.

Step 8

Serve immediately, optionally with a toasted slice of whole-grain bread on the side for a complete breakfast.
