Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the diced red bell pepper and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
Step 6
Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir and fold with a spatula, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Continue cooking and gently stirring every 15-20 seconds until the eggs are soft-scrambled and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and fold it in until melted and evenly combined.

Remove the skillet from heat and divide the scrambled eggs between two plates. Serve immediately.
