Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Spinach
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the egg whites, and whisk them together until well combined.
Step 2
Add the low-fat milk and black pepper, and whisk again to incorporate the ingredients. If salt is desired, add it now.
Step 3
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel, then roughly chop it. Set aside.
Step 4
Chop the green onions finely, including both the white and green parts.
Step 5
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until they are fragrant and slightly softened.
Step 7
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, letting it sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds.
Step 9
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Continue to cook and stir until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the heat and divide the scrambled eggs between two plates.
Step 11
Drizzle each portion of scrambled eggs with 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, or more to taste.
Step 12
Serve immediately, enjoying your heart-healthy meal!
