Creamy, savory, and packed with nutrients — this quick skillet breakfast comes together fast and tastes like something from a cozy café.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tbsp milk or heavy cream (optional)
-
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
-
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
-
1 cup fresh spinach
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
2 tbsp shredded cheese (optional — cheddar, feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella)
-
Optional: pinch garlic powder or red pepper flakes
⏱️ Instructions (Ready in 10 Minutes)
1️⃣ Sauté the Veggies (4 minutes)
Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add mushrooms and cook 3–4 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Add spinach and cook 30–60 seconds until wilted.
2️⃣ Whisk the Eggs (1 minute)
In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
3️⃣ Scramble Gently (3–4 minutes)
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Pour eggs into the pan over the veggies.
Let sit 10–15 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling eggs from edges toward center.
Continue stirring slowly until softly set.
4️⃣ Finish & Serve
Turn off heat while eggs are still slightly glossy (they’ll finish cooking from residual heat).
Sprinkle cheese on top if using and let melt.
Serve immediately.

❓ Q & A
❓ Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes — thaw completely and squeeze out excess water before adding.
❓ Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely. Skip milk and cheese; use olive oil instead of butter.
❓ How do I meal prep this?
Scrambled eggs are best fresh, but you can:
-
Pre-sauté mushrooms
-
Store chopped spinach ready to use
Then cook eggs fresh in minutes.
❓ Why are my scrambled eggs watery?
Spinach releases moisture. Cook mushrooms first and let excess liquid evaporate before adding eggs.
