Equipment

  • Large nonstick skillet
  • Silicone spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli or broccoli rice
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups loosely packed baby spinach
  • Avocado slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, and pepper until the mixture is light and foamy. Set this aside for later.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes soft and fragrant. Stir in the chopped broccoli and frozen peas, cooking for another minute. Add the garlic and spinach to the skillet and stir until the spinach has wilted, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  • Scramble the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked vegetables. Use a silicone spatula to gently move the eggs from the edges of the pan toward the center, folding them over as they cook. Let the eggs settle briefly before repeating this process, ensuring they remain soft and just set.
  • Serve and Garnish: Remove the eggs from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Top the scrambled eggs with fresh avocado slices and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: After allowing the eggs to cool, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Alternatively, freeze them for up to 3 months.
Reheating Tips: Warm the eggs in a lightly oiled pan over low heat, or microwave them in 15-second bursts, stirring in between, to maintain their texture.
Creative Ideas: Use the leftovers as a filling for a breakfast wrap or quesadilla with a bit of cheese, or enjoy them in a collard wrap for an extra serving of greens.
