Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 4
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
Step 6
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, bringing the cooked edges toward the center while tilting the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the outer edges.
Step 7
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 8
Continue to cook for about 1 more minute until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked to your liking.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the scramble to serving plates.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb classic egg scramble!
