Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients:
Chop the fresh spinach and slice the avocado. Set them aside. - Cook the Spinach:
Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, just until wilted. - Scramble the Eggs:
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are soft and scrambled to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. - Assemble the Dish:
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the heat. Top with sliced avocado and, if desired, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added freshness. - Serve:
Serve immediately, either on a plate as-is or with whole-grain toast or a side of fruit for extra nutrition.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use olive oil or a plant-based butter substitute.
- Add extra toppings such as crumbled feta, cherry tomatoes, or hot sauce if desired.
- You can also meal prep this dish by keeping the cooked eggs and spinach separate and adding the avocado just before serving.
