Steps

- 4
Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetables and gently scramble until the eggs are cooked through but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir the crispy bacon back into the eggs and vegetables, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Plate the scramble and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Tips from the chef
Use center-cut bacon for less fat and a leaner dish.
To make it even healthier, consider using egg whites or a mix of whole eggs and egg whites.
Add other vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes for extra nutrients and flavor.
Serve with a side of whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
Cook the bacon slowly on medium heat to maximize crispiness without burning.
