Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup yellow bell pepper
• 0.25 cup onion
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 spray non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your vegetables. Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into small squares. Chop the onion finely.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add black pepper and whisk until eggs are well-blended and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes or until they become translucent.

Step 5

Next, add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and continue to cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the eggs to the skillet. Allow them to set slightly at the edges before stirring.

Step 8

Gently pull the eggs from the edges towards the center of the pan using a spatula, creating soft folds.

Step 9

Continue to cook while stirring occasionally until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 10

Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional black pepper or fresh herbs.
