Ingredients
- 4 ounces lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 avocado, cubed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and browned.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low. Add the baby spinach to the skillet with the cooked beef and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-sodium vegetable broth until well combined. This will help make the eggs extra fluffy.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the beef and spinach in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute to slightly set.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs over in sections until they form soft curds, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
When the eggs are almost cooked to your liking, stir in the cherry tomatoes and season with black pepper.
Step 8
Continue to cook until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
Step 9
Divide the scrambled eggs with beef between two plates.
Step 10
Top each serving with diced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and nutrients.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy scramble.
