Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm a 10-inch skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes until the surface shimmers slightly.
- Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Toss 1 cup fresh spinach into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until the leaves completely wilt and shrink down.
- Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl and pour 2 tablespoons milk, then whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture becomes uniformly pale yellow.
- Pour the egg mixture directly over the mushrooms and spinach in the skillet, using a spatula to gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Continue stirring and folding the eggs for 2-3 minutes at medium heat until they reach a soft, creamy consistency with no liquid remaining.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper over the scramble, giving a final gentle stir to distribute the seasoning.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a warm plate and serve immediately while the eggs remain tender and steaming.
Notes
- Always slice mushrooms thinly for faster and more even cooking.
- Fresh spinach works best, but frozen can be substituted if drained thoroughly.
- Whisking eggs with a splash of milk creates a creamier, softer scramble.
- Use medium heat to prevent eggs from becoming tough or rubbery, stirring gently to maintain a soft, fluffy texture.
