Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs and add 2 additional egg whites. Whisk together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 2

Add 0.25 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 4

While the oil is heating, slice 1 cup of baby spinach and halve 0.5 cup of cherry tomatoes. Chop 2 stalks of green onions.

Step 5

Add the green onions and cherry tomatoes to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it is wilted.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Reduce heat to low and stir gently with a spatula.

Step 8

Season with 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.

Step 9

Continue to stir the eggs slowly until they are just set but still creamy, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from heat promptly to prevent overcooking. Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onion slices if desired.
