Ingredients

  • 0.5 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 0.25 cup Onions finely diced, yellow or white
  • 1.5 cups Mushrooms thin sliced, cremini or white button
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Baby Spinach

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 large Egg White
  • 1 tsp Water
  • to taste Kosher Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp Cheese Gruyere, sharp cheddar, or dairy-free, optional

Instructions

  • Begin by finely dicing 1/4 cup of onions and thinly slicing 1 1/2 cups of mushrooms. Rinse 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach and set aside.
  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  • Toss in the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the baby spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  • In a bowl, crack 2 large eggs and 1 large egg white. Add 1 teaspoon of water, a pinch of kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  • Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add a tiny drizzle of olive oil if needed. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds.
  • Gently stir and fold the eggs with a spatula, bringing cooked edges into the center.
  • When the eggs are about halfway set, fold in the sautéed mushroom-spinach mixture.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of your chosen cheese over the eggs. Continue cooking gently, folding the eggs until they are softly set but still moist and creamy.
  • Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
  • Plate your Mushroom-Spinach Scrambled Eggs right away and enjoy.
