Prep the Ingredients:
Begin by thinly slicing the onion and washing the spinach leaves. Chop the spinach into small pieces and set aside. -
Caramelize the Onions:
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they become light golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. -
Cook the Spinach:
Once the onions are caramelized, add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to soften and wilt down. -
Prepare the Egg Whites:
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites along with salt and black pepper until frothy and slightly bubbly. -
Cook the Scrambled Eggs:
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet with the onions and spinach. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 10 seconds, then gently stir from the edges to the center with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook evenly and stay fluffy. This process should take about 30 seconds, ensuring the eggs remain light and tender. -
Finish with Cheese:
Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, turn off the heat. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the eggs, allowing it to melt into the warm eggs. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the Egg White Cheese Scrambled Eggs with Spinach & Caramelized Onion immediately. Pair with toasted bread and a refreshing Mango Tofu Smoothie for a healthy, energizing breakfast.
Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
- Low Heat is Key: Keep the heat low while scrambling to avoid overcooking the eggs. This will help maintain a soft, creamy texture.
- Add Extra Cheese: Feel free to increase the cheese quantity for a richer flavor.
- Customize Veggies: You can also add other veggies, such as bell peppers or mushrooms, to the mix for extra flavor and texture.
This nutritious, low-calorie breakfast provides a satisfying start to your day, filled with protein and healthy greens, making it a perfect choice for an energizing meal.
