Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs whisk well before adding for fluffier texture
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced cremini or baby bella recommended; pat dry before cooking
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or frozen; if frozen, thaw and squeeze out all moisture before using
  • 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream heavy cream gives a richer result
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil butter adds richer flavor
  • 1 garlic clove, minced fresh garlic strongly preferred
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese optional; sharp cheddar or feta recommended; add just before removing from heat

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wide spatula
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil, then place sliced mushrooms in a single layer without crowding. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes without frequent stirring until golden brown with slightly crisp edges.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add fresh spinach and toss gently for 1 minute until fully wilted. If using pre-drained frozen spinach, it will wilt faster.
  3. Lower heat to medium-low. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until fully blended. Pour the mixture over the vegetables.
  4. Using a wide spatula, fold the eggs gently from the outside edges toward the center every 20 to 30 seconds. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until eggs look glossy and just barely set at the edges but still soft in the center. If using cheese, add now and fold in. Remove from heat while slightly underdone and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat mushrooms dry before cooking to prevent steaming. Always squeeze frozen spinach well to avoid watery eggs. Pull the pan off heat just before eggs look fully set since they continue cooking from residual heat. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals with a splash of milk.
