Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
- Stir gently until the eggs are set, then serve with a side piece of ham.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of cream cheese to the egg mixture. You can substitute the spinach with kale or arugula for a different flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, toss in some diced jalapeño. Ensure not to overcook the eggs; they should be soft and slightly runny for the best taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish with a side of crispy ham for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with toast or a fresh salad. For a heartier meal, consider adding roasted potatoes or a slice of Marinated Apple Cake for dessert. Enjoy it for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the eggs in a skillet over low heat, stirring gently until warmed through. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the eggs rubbery.
