Materials I Used

These are the kitchen basics I used to make this recipe:

• Silicone kitchen utensils
• BPA free cutting board
• Non stick frying pan

Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1 small handful of frozen spinach (about 1/3 cup)
• 1/2 cup frozen mushrooms
• 1 tsp olive oil or butter
• Salt, garlic, oregano, onion flakes, and black pepper to taste

Quick note for texture: frozen veggies release water, so the goal is to cook that water off before adding the eggs.

How to prepare

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a non stick pan over medium heat.

2. Add the frozen mushrooms directly to the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes so most of the water evaporates.

3. Add the frozen spinach and stir well. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Pour the eggs into the pan and gently stir until just set.

6. Serve warm.

Tip: No need to thaw the veggies. Just cook off the extra water for the best texture.

FAQ

Can I use fresh spinach and mushrooms instead of frozen?
Yes. Use the same method, but reduce cooking time since fresh veggies release less water.

How do I avoid watery scrambled eggs with frozen vegetables?
Cook the mushrooms first, then spinach, until the pan is mostly dry. Only then add the eggs.

Can I add cheese?
Yes. Cheddar, mozzarella, or feta work well. Add at the end so it melts without overcooking the eggs.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?
It’s best fresh, but you can cook it, cool it fast, and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.

What seasoning works best here?
Garlic, oregano, onion flakes, and black pepper are great. Smoked paprika also works if you want more depth.

Can I scale it up?
Yes. Double everything, but use a larger pan so the water evaporates properly. Otherwise it steams instead of frying.

If you pay attention to what you eat, it’s worth paying attention to what you drink too.
