Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 cups Fresh baby spinach
• 0.5 cup, shredded Low-sodium cheese (such as Swiss or mozzarella)
• 1 clove Fresh garlic
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 spritz Vegetable oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the milk. Whisk together vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Mince the garlic clove finely.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the spinach in the skillet.

Step 6

Stir gently with a spatula, pulling the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium cheese over the scrambled eggs and spinach, then gently fold it in until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.

Step 8

Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Avoid adding salt to keep the sodium content low.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately, accompanied by whole grain toast or your choice of breakfast sides.
