Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 cup, loosely packed baby spinach
• 0.25 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and fluffy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the entire surface of the pan.

Step 3

Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until softened.

Step 4

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until wilted.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to set slightly.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently push the eggs toward the center of the skillet, folding them over the vegetables. Continue to fold and stir gently to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Fold a few more times to melt the cheese and fully cook the eggs without overdoing them.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
