Prepare the Ingredients
- Fresh ingredients make a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Rinse and chop the spinach.
- Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly.
- Mince the garlic.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), and whisk until smooth.
- Pro Tip: Whisking eggs with a splash of milk or cream adds extra fluffiness.
Sauté Mushrooms and Spinach
- Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
- Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds to release aroma.
- Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
- Expert Insight: Cooking mushrooms first allows their moisture to evaporate, preventing soggy eggs.
Cook the Eggs
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables.
- Allow eggs to sit undisturbed for 20–30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.
- Continue folding and stirring until eggs are just set but still creamy.
- Pro Tip: Low and slow cooking yields soft, tender scrambled eggs rather than rubbery ones.
Season and Serve
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Optional: sprinkle with cheese, herbs, or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
