Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 1 medium, diced bell pepper
• 2 cups, fresh spinach
• 1 cup, diced cooked protein (e.g., chicken, sausage, or tofu)
• 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the cooked protein of your choice to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and protein in the skillet.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs as they cook, creating soft curds. Continue cooking and stirring for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are cooked through but still tender.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the scramble and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 9

If desired, drizzle with hot sauce for extra flavor.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and divide the Dinner Scramble into four portions. Serve immediately with your favorite sides or bread.
