INGREDIENTS

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffiness)
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves
• 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
• Grated cheese (optional, for topping)

DIRECTIONS

• Step No.1: Whisk the eggs
  In a bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of milk (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Set aside while preparing vegetables.

• Step No.2: Sauté mushrooms
  Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and softened.

• Step No.3: Add spinach and garlic
  Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds if using. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir occasionally.

• Step No.4: Pour in eggs
  Reduce heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the vegetables. Let them sit for a few seconds before gently stirring.

• Step No.5: Scramble gently
  Using a spatula, push eggs from the edges toward the centre. Continue until eggs are just set but still slightly soft and creamy.

• Step No.6: Serve and garnish
  Remove from heat. Top with grated cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot with toast, avocado, or a side of fruit.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh baby spinach wilts quickly and adds a vibrant green colour without overpowering the eggs or mushrooms.

• Don’t Overcook Eggs: Remove eggs from the heat while still slightly soft to avoid rubbery texture and keep them creamy and moist.

• Cook Mushrooms Thoroughly: Sauté mushrooms until golden brown to enhance their savoury flavour and prevent them from becoming soggy.

• Season Eggs Properly: Add salt to eggs before cooking for even seasoning and to help maintain moisture during scrambling.

• Low Heat for Creaminess: Cook scrambled eggs on low heat to prevent overcooking and ensure a soft, silky texture.

• Optional Garlic Boost: A little garlic adds depth, but it’s optional—skip it if you want a milder, cleaner egg flavour.

• Keep It Simple or Dress It Up: This base recipe is great on its own but welcomes additions like feta, chives, or diced bell peppers.

VARIATIONS

• Cheesy Scramble: Stir in grated cheddar, mozzarella, or feta just before the eggs finish cooking for a creamy, cheesy upgrade.

• Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a spicy version that pairs well with avocado toast or salsa.

• Tomato Twist: Add cherry tomato halves with the mushrooms for a burst of sweetness and colour in every bite.

• Herbed Delight: Mix in fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for a garden-fresh flavour that brightens up the dish.

• vegan diet Option: Use tofu scramble instead of eggs and sauté with mushrooms and spinach for a fully plant-based breakfast.

• Add Meat (Optional): Stir in diced cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier, protein-loaded version of this classic breakfast.

• Wrap It Up: Use the mixture as a filling for breakfast burritos or wraps with a little cheese and hot sauce for on-the-go meals.
