    🍯 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. You can serve it up with a glass of Pineapple Watermelon Banana Smoothie for a more balanced meal that's as quick to make as it is tasty.
    2. It's easy to make. It requires minimal cleanup and effort, yet offers great nutritional potential, especially when using just 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.

    🥘 Ingredients

    ingredients needed to make Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Tomatoes.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Cherry Tomatoes- You will need some cherry tomatoes for a burst of flavor and bright red colors in every serving. If you still have cherry tomatoes left, make sure to try them in our Sheet Pan Gnocchi With Sausage and Vegetables.

    Fresh Spinach- Use fresh spinach in this recipe. It will give us a great flavor and beautiful color too.

    Garlic- You can use fresh garlic or jarred minced garlic, depending on what you have on hand.

    Red Pepper Flakes- This will add a tiny kick of heat to really make these eggs feel special.

    Cheese- This is completely optional, but if desired, you can add cheddar cheese or feta cheese to the top of your eggs when serving.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    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.

    💭 Recipe 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 it. 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.
