Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 oz lean turkey bacon
Produce and Bread:
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- ½ cup spinach leaves
- ¼ avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup low-fat milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Dice 2 oz of turkey bacon into small, uniform pieces.
- Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet at medium heat (350°F).
- Sizzle bacon pieces until crisp and golden, around 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer bacon to a paper towel, allowing excess grease to drain.
- Rip 1 slice whole wheat bread into bite-sized chunks in the same skillet.
- Toast bread pieces until golden brown, stirring every 30 seconds, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lower skillet temperature to low (250°F) and add ½ cup spinach leaves.
- Cook spinach just until it softens and slightly wilts, roughly 45-60 seconds.
- Whisk 2 large eggs with ¼ cup milk, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper in a separate bowl.
- Pour egg mixture over spinach and bread in the skillet.
- Gently fold eggs until barely set, approximately 1.5-2 minutes.
- Plate scrambled eggs and top with crispy bacon pieces.
- Slice ¼ avocado and arrange on egg mixture.
- Garnish with 1 tsp fresh chives.
- Serve hot and enjoy your protein-packed breakfast.
Notes
- Choose thick-cut turkey bacon for maximum crispiness and flavor in your breakfast.
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure bread pieces and eggs don’t stick and cleanup remains easy.
- Tear bread into consistent small chunks so they toast evenly and create a satisfying texture.
- Add fresh chives at the end to brighten the dish with a light, oniony flavor that complements the eggs and bacon.
