Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs fresh for best texture
  • 8 oz mushrooms cremini, button, or baby bella, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 –2 Tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional:
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar or feta
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes or hot sauce for heat
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Wipe mushrooms clean and slice thinly. Roughly chop spinach. Mince garlic. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Heat 1 Tbsp butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and moisture evaporates.
  3. Stir in chopped spinach and minced garlic. Cook 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts and garlic is fragrant (don’t burn).
  4. Reduce heat to low-medium. Pour whisked eggs over the mixture. Let sit 30 seconds, then gently stir from edges to center with a spatula.
  5. Continue stirring gently every 20–30 seconds until eggs are mostly set but still creamy (3–5 minutes). Add optional cheese in last minute to melt.
  6. Remove from heat while slightly glossy (residual heat finishes cooking). Garnish with chives if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Low-medium heat → keeps eggs creamy, not rubbery.
Pat mushrooms dry → prevents sogginess.
Stir gently → fluffy texture.
Pull early → eggs continue cooking off heat.
Add cheese last minute → melts without overcooking.
