Instructions

After about 30 seconds you can add in the red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and cheese

Notes
Scrambled eggs take 5-7 minutes to cook; aim for fluffy, non-runny eggs without browning.
Cooked eggs are safe at 144°F; continue cooking for preferred doneness.
Opt for 6-8 egg whites for a heart-healthy option.
Substitute diced Roma or grape tomatoes if cherry tomatoes are unavailable.
Use thawed, rinsed, and drained canned or frozen spinach if fresh is unavailable.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in a pan with butter for moisture.
