Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 medium, diced zucchini
- 0.5 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Step 3
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.
Step 4
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves wilt down.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, moving them around the skillet to scramble them while they cook.
Step 6
When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 7
Continue to cook, gently folding the eggs and cheese together until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately. Enjoy!
