Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat shredded cheese
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 4 whole Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 whole Avocado

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

While the spinach is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the avocado.

Step 4

Remove the cooked spinach and set aside.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into the skillet, ensuring they are spread out without overlapping.

Step 6

Sprinkle the eggs with salt, black pepper, and oregano.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, distributing them evenly around the eggs.

Step 8

Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still a little runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Scatter the low-fat shredded cheese over the eggs and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, about 1 minute.

Step 10

Add the cooked spinach back to the skillet to reheat it gently, about 30 seconds.

Step 11

Transfer the eggs, cooked vegetables, and melted cheese onto a plate.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced avocado before serving.
