Ingredients
- 4 whole eggs
- 2 whole egg whites
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the egg whites, and whisk together until well blended.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened almond milk, black pepper, and salt to the bowl, and whisk again to combine.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the turkey bacon slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove the bacon, chop into small pieces, and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. Set the spinach aside with the bacon.
Step 6
Turn the heat down to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds. Begin stirring slowly with a spatula, gently pushing the eggs from the edges to the center as they set.
Step 7
Just before the eggs are fully cooked (still slightly runny in parts), add the cooked spinach and turkey bacon and fold them into the eggs.
Step 8
Continue to cook for another minute or until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
Step 9
Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped chives, and serve hot.
