Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water (for fluffier eggs)
  • 1 cup baby spinach (loosely packed)
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, shredded cheese, fresh herbs

Prep Time, Cook Time, and Servings

Prep Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 5 minutesTotal Time: 10 minutesServings: 2 portion

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or water), a pinch of salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Once hot, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
  3. Add the spinach and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until wilted.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low, pour in the egg mixture, and let it sit for 20 seconds without stirring.
  5. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue to stir slowly and gently until the eggs are just set and creamy. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat while the eggs are still a little soft—they’ll continue to cook from the residual heat. Serve immediately, optionally topped with cheese or herbs.

Tips for the Best Scrambled Eggs

  • Whisk well: This adds air to the eggs, making them fluffier and creamier. A fork works, but a whisk does a better job.
  • Cook low and slow: High heat makes eggs rubbery. Medium-low is the sweet spot.
  • Use fresh spinach: It wilts beautifully and doesn’t release too much water like frozen spinach can.
  • Pre-cook the mushrooms: This step adds flavor and prevents sogginess in the eggs.
  • Add cheese at the end: If you want a cheesy finish, stir in a small handful of shredded cheddar or feta right before the eggs finish cooking.

Delicious Variations to Try

  • Cheesy Veggie Scramble: Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar, or goat cheese for extra richness.
  • Southwest Style: Toss in diced tomatoes, green onions, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning.
  • Mediterranean Twist: Use baby kale instead of spinach and add sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese.
  • Hearty Protein Boost: Add cooked turkey bacon or diced chicken breast.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use water instead of milk and olive oil instead of butter. Still creamy, still delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but thaw and squeeze out excess water before using. Too much moisture can make your eggs watery.

How do I make this recipe dairy-free?
Swap the milk for water and the butter for olive oil. You can also skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative.

Can I meal prep this recipe?
Scrambled eggs are best fresh, but you can cook the mushroom and spinach mixture ahead of time and just add eggs in the morning.

Is this recipe keto-friendly?
Absolutely. It’s low-carb, high in healthy fats and protein. Just skip the milk or use a low-carb alternative if needed.

How do I keep scrambled eggs from getting rubbery?
The trick is to cook them low and slow, and to pull them off the heat just before they’re fully set. They’ll finish cooking on the plate.
