Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 pieces cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely dicing half a medium onion.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the extra-virgin olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Meanwhile, rinse and pat dry the baby spinach. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

While the spinach is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs and whisk until well combined.

Step 6

Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and set aside.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and spinach. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds so the eggs can begin to set at the edges.

Step 8

Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding them over from the edges to the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the skillet’s surface.

Step 9

Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Add the sliced cherry tomatoes to the skillet and fold them gently into the eggs for an additional minute until the eggs are cooked to your preferred consistency.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a soft and creamy texture.

Step 12

Serve immediately for a warm, hearty, and heart-healthy meal.
