    I love the combination of spinach and tomatoes like in my Creamy Tilapia and Spinach with Cherry Tomatoes and I love the combination of spinach and eggs like in my Crustless Veggie Quiche, but combining tomatoes and eggs isn't something I usually think of doing unless it's in a quiche or casserole.

    While this scrambled eggs spinach tomatoes combination may have been out of my comfort zone, it was worth stepping out and trying something new because this combination is a hit!

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's a quick breakfast recipe. This dish is prepared in a matter of minutes and only takes a handful of ingredients too.
    2. It's easy to make. Minimal dirty dishes and effort but maximum health potential. Even more so if you just use egg whites.
    3. It's a savory change of pace. So many breakfast foods are packed with sugar, like cereal, pancakes, etc., and having a savory option is always welcomed.

    Continue cooking until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

    Serve immediately.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Egg Whites only. You can make this recipe using egg whites only to make it a little heart-healthier if desired. I recommend using 6-8 egg whites to help make sure that there is plenty for this dish.

    Different tomatoes. Don't have cherry tomatoes? Diced Roma tomatoes or colorful grape tomatoes will also work well.

    Canned or frozen spinach. If you don't have fresh spinach, frozen or canned will work in a pinch. Just make sure that they're thawed, rinsed, and drained well so that they aren't adding too much extra moisture into the eggs.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    This healthy spinach scrambled eggs recipe is a delicious burst of savory flavor and can easily be customized to your liking. If desired, you can make this vegetable scrambled eggs recipe with additional veggies like soft cooked squash, mushrooms, or onions.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    These eggs are best enjoyed when made fresh and warm. That said, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    🍳 Reheating

    Reheat slowly in a pan on the stove with a little pad of butter to help rehydrate the eggs as they warm up.

    💭 FAQs

    Are tomatoes good to eat with eggs?

    Yes, nutrition-wise, we are talking about a lot of great nutrients like vitamins, proteins, and amino acids, but the flavors are also great. You have a rich smooth egg and a tangy fresh tomato working well together to create a harmony of savory flavors.

    Should I add milk to scrambled eggs?

    This is completely optional whenever you make scrambled eggs. I never add in any milk just because I like the texture better without. If you choose to add in milk, you will want to use no more than 1 tablespoon of milk per egg so that the fluffy structure isn't broken down.

    How long to cook scrambled eggs

    It will take about 5-7 minutes to cook your scrambled eggs to perfection but the time can vary depending on the temperature of the pan. You want your eggs to no longer look slimy but to not be browned either. They should be fluffy and hold shape and not be leaking excess liquid onto the plate as this is a sign that they weren't cooked fully.
