Ingredients
  

For the Scramble
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 6 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 large handful fresh baby spinach
  • To taste fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
  • 4 large eggs whisked
For Serving
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • As needed fresh herbs such as dill, cilantro, basil or parsley, for topping

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add the mushrooms and onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are nearly browned. Add the garlic, season the mix with salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add the spinach and toss gently for 1-2 minutes or until it has wilted. Move the veggie mix to the back side of the pan and turn the heat down to medium-low.
  2. Add the remaining butter to the front side of the pan and stir it briefly to melt. Add the eggs and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring slowly and frequently, until scrambled. Turn off the heat and gently toss the eggs with the veggie mix.
  3. Taste the mixture and season with additional salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
  4. Serve the scramble warm with a side of sliced avocado. Garnish with fresh herbs before eating.

Notes

This dish came from a desire for a hearty yet healthy breakfast on an autumn morning. Using fresh spinach and mushrooms from the market created warm aromas that reminded me of family meals. This simple preparation creates a satisfying dish quickly.
