Equipment
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 2 eggs Eggs
- 1 handful Baby Spinach
- 50 g Broccoli
- 20 g Butter
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
Instructions
- Start by melting butter in a pan over low heat. The butter should be melted but not browned to ensure a rich flavor without burning.
- Add the broccoli first; it takes a bit longer to cook. Toss it gently and let it sauté for about 1 minute until it starts to soften. Look for a vibrant green color.
- Next, add in the baby spinach. You’ll notice how quickly it wilts, turning dark and tender within seconds. Stir it well with the broccoli.
- After the vegetables have softened slightly, crack in the eggs. Allow them to settle for a moment before you start stirring, which helps to achieve a fluffy texture.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Don’t be shy with the seasoning; you want every bite to be flavorful.
- Using a spatula, gently flip and scramble the eggs with the veggies. You want to see soft curds and a creamy mixture, so be careful not to overcook.
- Cook for about 1 to 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly creamy. Remember, they'll continue cooking after you remove them from the heat.
- Once done, take the pan off the heat. Allow the wonderful aroma to fill your kitchen as you plate the Healthy Scrambled Eggs with Broccoli and Spinach.
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your nutritious meal, and feel good knowing you’ve made something wholesome!
