Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 0.5 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg whites and whisk together until well combined.

Step 2

Stir in the low-fat milk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, whisking further to integrate all ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chopped fresh spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, lowering the heat slightly to medium-low.

Step 6

Let the eggs sit without stirring for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to start setting slightly at the edges.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding them over from the edges to the center. Continue this process, cooking gently for another 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs have mostly set but are still soft.

Step 8

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, dill, and chives. Fold them gently into the eggs.

Step 9

Continue to cook for another minute or two until the tomatoes are warmed through and the eggs are fully cooked yet still moist.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy these heart-healthy scrambled eggs with whole-grain toast or a light salad on the side.
