I am great about cooking fresh, healthy breakfasts for the family--even when our days have crazy staggered starts and quirky schedules! Unfortunately, I am NOT so great about taking the time to make my own healthy meals for just myself. I will grab a bagel or a granola bar--or even last night's dinner leftovers to avoid making one more meal and cleaning one more pan! Over the past few months, I have been making a very conscious effort to change this--and finding quick, easy recipes is the only way I accomplish it every day! This spinach and mushroom breakfast scramble recipe takes, literally, less than 10 minutes....probably about 8 minutes from start to finish. I can spare 8 minutes for a "real" breakfast instead of a boxed, processed meal! This recipe serves one--but, if you need to make a scramble for a crowd, just multiply the ingredients and it works perfectly!
Ingredients for my Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Scramble
2 Large White Mushrooms, Chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1 tbsp. Yellow Onion, Finely Diced
A Handful of Baby Spinach--Torn with Stems Removed
Garlic Herb Seasoning Blend
2 Eggs or an Equivalent amount of Egg Whites or an Egg Substitute
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions for your Spinach & Mushroom Breakfast Scramble
Saute the veggies. In a small frying pan, heat the butter or oil until hot--but not smoking. I generally melt the coconut oil or add the olive oil and spread it with a pastry brush to cover the pan. Add the onions and saute for 3-4 minutes or until nearly translucent. Add the mushrooms and saute for an additional 3-4 minutes. Toss in the spinach and saute until the spinach wilts. Add the Garlic Herb Spice Blend and stir.
Scramble in the eggs. That is all there is to it. Once the veggies cook through--add in the eggs and scramble them over medium-low heat until set. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve. I recently cut most of the cheese and bread from my diet--but, if you prefer--toss in a couple of tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese or crumbled feta before serving! I am addicted to El Yucateco xxxtra Hot Habanero Sauce these days--and find myself adding it to egg dishes a lot! Serve with toast and fresh fruit.
