Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• 0.5 cup (diced) zucchini
• 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
• 1 handful baby spinach
• 2 stalks (sliced) green onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them together with the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet; sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 4

Add the baby spinach and sliced green onions to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.

Step 6

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir and scramble the eggs, folding them over the vegetables.

Step 7

Continue to stir occasionally until the eggs are just set but still soft and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional sliced green onions or a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper.
