Mushroom Scramble and Healthy Spinach

This Healthy Spinach and Mushroom Scramble is filling and satisfying. A scrambled egg breakfast with sautéed onions and mushrooms and a diced veggie breakfast sausage. Serve with toast or on its own. This dish serves 1 but can easily be doubled or quadrupled.

This is a go-to breakfast of ours.

I make this at least 3 times a week and it still hasn’t gotten old. And I always keep everything on hand; even prepped minced onion and sliced mushrooms so I can make this wholesome breakfast in minutes. The flavors are simple yet work so deliciously well together. I prefer use spicy veggie breakfast sausage in this scramble because for one, they’re already cooked and only need to be warmed up. And secondly, I like their flavor better than long-used breakfast sausage and they aren’t as greasy.

This healthy spinach and mushroom scramble is straightforward and filling, keeping you satisfied all morning long.

For this Healthy Spinach and Mushroom Scramble Set out:

  • light olive oil
  • diced onion (red, yellow or white)
  • sliced mushrooms
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • baby spinach
  • eggs
  • cooked sausage patty (I prefer spicy veggie sausages)
  • grated Parmesan cheese.

Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

Add in 1 tablespoon (go ahead and eyeball it) of diced onion, a cup of sliced mushrooms and a pinch of kosher salt. As for the type of mushrooms, I use cremini but any mushrooms will work simply fine.

Meanwhile crack two eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Whisk until light and fluffy, then set aside.

Once the onions are soft and the edges of the mushrooms are golden brown.

Next, add in 1 cup or a large handful of baby spinach. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

Continue to stir until the spinach starts to wilt.

Then scoot this mixture off to the side of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the beaten eggs.

Use a rubber spatula to scrape and fold the eggs until they simply fully cooked.

Next add in the diced veggie sausage.

And stir to heat through.

Serve in a bowl and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

And micro greens, if you want to be fancy.
