Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium onion
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by dicing the bacon into small pieces. Slice the bell pepper and chop the onion finely. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the egg mixture to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Let it sit without stirring for a few seconds until it begins to set around the edges.

Step 7

Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in places, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the crispy bacon back to the skillet and stir in gently. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the scrambled eggs before serving.
