Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups (diced) red bell pepper
• 1 cup (fresh) baby spinach
• 0.5 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks (sliced) green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring the entire surface is coated.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Toss in the baby spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to evenly spread over the vegetables.

Step 6

Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the cooked eggs over the uncooked portions.

Step 7

Repeat the process, stirring every 20-30 seconds, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and stir gently to combine, letting the heat melt the cheese.

Step 9

Once the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Veggie Cheddar Scrambled Eggs!
