Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 piece avocado
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the low-fat milk, black pepper, and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly beat the mixture until the yolks and whites are well combined.

Step 2

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside for later.

Step 3

Rinse the spinach leaves and pat them dry. Roughly chop the spinach into smaller pieces.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil and allow it to warm up for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds until the edges start to set.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and spinach, folding the mixture from the edges to the center. Continue cooking and stirring every few seconds to ensure the eggs cook evenly. Remove from heat once the eggs are no longer runny but still slightly creamy.

Step 8

While the eggs are cooking, rinse and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

Step 9

To serve, divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates. Top each serving with mashed avocado and a few cherry tomato quarters.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh chives. Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy meal.
