Ingredients
Vegetables
- 6 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large handful fresh baby spinach
- ½ avocado, sliced
Dairy & Eggs
- 4 large eggs, whisked
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
Seasonings
- Fine sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh herbs such as dill, cilantro, basil, or parsley, for topping
Instructions
- Sauté the veggies. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and red onion, sautéing and stirring occasionally until the mushrooms start to brown. Add the minced garlic along with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, cooking for an additional minute while stirring. Toss in the fresh baby spinach and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Push the veggie mixture to the back side of the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Scramble the eggs. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the front side of the pan and swirl to melt. Pour in the whisked eggs and season with a pinch of salt. Stir slowly and frequently to scramble the eggs until just cooked through but still tender. Turn off the heat and fold the scrambled eggs gently with the sautéed veggies.
- Season to taste. Taste the scramble and add more salt and freshly ground pepper if needed to enhance the flavors.
- Serve. Plate the egg scramble while warm. Serve with sliced avocado on the side and garnish generously with your choice of fresh herbs like dill, cilantro, basil, or parsley. Enjoy immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal.

- You can substitute baby bella mushrooms with cremini or white mushrooms if desired.
- For a creamier scramble, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
- Use fresh herbs according to your preference or availability to vary the flavor profile.
- This recipe is flexible and can be doubled or tripled for multiple servings.
- Serve with whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a more complete breakfast.
