Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they release their moisture and turn a deep golden brown.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook just until wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables.
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center until soft, fluffy curds form.
Remove from heat immediately when eggs are set but still moist.
Garnish with chopped chives if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure the mushrooms are fully browned before adding spinach to avoid a soggy texture. Use a high-quality non-stick pan to maintain the delicate texture of the eggs.
