Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 50 ml low-fat milk
- 50 grams baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the low-fat milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the baby spinach and sauté gently for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet. Let it sit, without stirring, for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the cooked eggs from the outside in towards the center. Continue until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Step 4
Meanwhile, tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the eggs just before they are done cooking to gently heat through.
Step 5
Fold in the wilted spinach and remove the skillet from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook in the residual heat.
Step 6
Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates. Sprinkle with fresh dill and drizzle with a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious and high-protein breakfast.
