Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Mushrooms (chopped, any kind, measured after chopping)
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach (packed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
Seasonings and Garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh chives or parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Cooking Spray
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil cooking spray. To test if your pan is ready, flick a few drops of water onto the surface; they should sizzle gently.
  2. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and start to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.
  4. While the spinach is wilting, whisk the eggs in a small bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
Cooking
  1. Pour the eggs into the skillet over the mushrooms and spinach, then let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds.
  2. Cook, gently folding with a spatula every 20 to 30 seconds, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly glossy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  4. Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly creamy.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Don’t overcook the eggs to maintain softness. For creaminess, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the beaten eggs.
