Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 large eggs
Vegetables:
- ½ cup mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or shiitake)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons milk or water (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly blended, creating a smooth, uniform mixture that will ensure consistent seasoning throughout the dish.
- Warm olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, allowing the pan to evenly distribute heat for optimal mushroom caramelization.
- Introduce sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing them until they release their natural moisture and develop a rich, golden-brown exterior, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold spinach into the mushroom mixture, letting the leaves wilt and integrate with the mushrooms, creating a vibrant and flavorful vegetable base.
- Lower the skillet’s temperature to medium-low, then cascade the whisked egg mixture over the vegetable medley, allowing it to settle briefly.
- Using a spatula, delicately maneuver the eggs from the pan’s edges toward the center, creating soft, pillowy curds that maintain a creamy, luxurious texture.
- Continue stirring intermittently until the eggs reach a tender, slightly moist consistency, taking care not to overcook.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate, crowning the dish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and optional fresh herbs for an enhanced aromatic experience.
- Serve immediately to preserve the eggs’ optimal temperature and velvety texture.
Notes
- Master egg whisking by combining ingredients thoroughly to ensure even seasoning and fluffy texture.
- Choose fresh, high-quality mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
- Control heat carefully during egg cooking to prevent overcooking and maintain creamy, soft scrambled consistency.
- Experiment with dairy alternatives like almond milk or nutritional yeast for lactose-free or vegan adaptations.
