• 2 tbsp milk or cream – For that dreamy, creamy texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep veggies: Slice mushrooms and wash spinach. Easy stuff.
2. Sauté mushrooms: Heat butter/oil in a skillet. Cook mushrooms until golden.
3. Add spinach: Toss it in and let it wilt. This takes like 30 seconds.
4. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, beat eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
5. Scramble time: Pour eggs into the pan. Gently push with a spatula until soft curds form.
6. Serve hot: Plate up and, if you’re extra, sprinkle with cheese or herbs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• High heat = rubber eggs. Don’t do it.
• Overcooking: Scrambled eggs keep cooking even after you remove them. Pull them early.
• Too much liquid: A splash of milk is fine; a cup is an omelet disaster waiting to happen.
• Forgetting seasoning: Bland eggs are a crime against breakfast.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• No mushrooms? Try bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
• No spinach? Kale, arugula, or even frozen spinach works.
• Dairy-free? Skip milk and use olive oil instead of butter.
• Add protein? Toss in cooked bacon, ham, or smoked salmon for brunch goals.
