Equipment

  • 1 Cutting board (for chopping spinach and slicing avocado)
  • 1 Knife (for slicing the avocado and chopping the spinach)
  • 1 Measuring spoon (for olive oil or butter)

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (or 3 eggs + 2 egg whites for a lighter option)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/4 avocado (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:
    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. If you're using egg whites, separate the yolks and whisk them with the whole eggs.

    Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume.
  • Scramble the Eggs:
    Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the spinach. Stir gently and cook for about 3-4 minutes, scraping the edges as needed to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the Avocado:
    Once the eggs are fully scrambled, transfer them to a plate. Top with fresh avocado slices.
    Optional: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese for extra protein and flavor.
