Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 100 grams fresh spinach
• 150 grams mushrooms
• 50 milliliters milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ingredients: wash the spinach thoroughly and pat dry with a towel. Chop the mushrooms into slices.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Add milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to brown and soften.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the spinach and mushrooms in the skillet.

Step 6

Gently stir the eggs occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pan as they cook. Be careful not to stir too frequently to allow larger curds to form, cooking for about 3–4 minutes or until the eggs are set but still creamy.

Step 7

If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese just before the eggs are fully set and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately.
