Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 4 slices turkey bacon, reduced-sodium
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the egg whites. Pour in the almond milk, add the salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until it's fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet. Cook the bacon for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crisp. Remove the bacon and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low-medium and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Allow the eggs to set slightly without stirring, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges to the center, forming soft curds, continue dragging and pulling the eggs until they are set but still slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook as you want them creamy.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and let the residual heat complete the cooking. Gently fold in the diced avocado.
Step 7
Serve the scrambled eggs on plates and pair with the crispy turkey bacon alongside. Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
