Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, diced bell pepper
• 1 small, diced onion
• 1 cup, sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup, fresh, packed spinach
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup, crumbled (optional) cooked bacon or sausage

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Let it melt and coat the skillet evenly.

Step 3

Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for another 2–3 minutes until they release their moisture and are slightly browned.

Step 5

Stir in the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until it wilts.

Step 6

If using cooked bacon or sausage, add it to the skillet now and stir to distribute evenly.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables and meat, and let it cook undisturbed for 1 minute.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the mixture from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom of the skillet.

Step 9

Continue to stir and fold every 30 seconds until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly soft, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the scramble and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cheese to melt for 1–2 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
