Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: European-inspired
Dietary suitability: Vegetarian and gluten-free when served without gluten-containing bread and with suitable ingredients
Optional to serve : Two slices of wholemeal toast, sliced tomatoes or a few slices of avocado.
Wipe the mushrooms clean and slice them thinly. Wash the spinach and allow any excess water to drain. Finely chop the garlic and fresh herbs.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk and season lightly with black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is combined.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for around 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Add the chopped garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, taking care not to burn it.
Stir the spinach into the mushrooms and cook for 1–2 minutes, until wilted. If the pan contains excess liquid, allow some of it to evaporate before adding the eggs.
Spread the vegetables evenly across the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the pan. Allow it to sit briefly, then gently stir with a spatula, moving the eggs from the edges towards the centre.
Continue cooking slowly until the eggs form soft curds and are cooked through. Avoid cooking them for too long, as this can make the texture dry.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the fresh chives or parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately, with wholemeal toast or your preferred breakfast accompaniment.
Cook over a low heat. Gentle cooking helps the eggs develop a softer texture and gives you more control over the result.
Let the mushrooms brown. Cooking them before adding the spinach helps develop their savoury flavour and reduces excess moisture.
Avoid overcrowding the pan. Use a pan large enough to let the vegetables cook evenly.
Add herbs at the end. Fresh chives and parsley bring a light, fresh flavour without overpowering the eggs.
Adjust the consistency. For a creamier texture, stir gently and remove the pan from the heat as soon as the eggs are cooked through.

Stir in a handful of halved cherry tomatoes after the mushrooms have softened. Cook until they begin to release their juices before adding the spinach.
Add a small amount of grated mature cheddar or crumbled feta towards the end of cooking for a richer flavour.
Season with oregano and black pepper, then serve with tomatoes and wholemeal toast.
Replace the milk with an unsweetened plant-based alternative or leave it out. Cook the eggs with olive oil instead of butter.
Place the scrambled eggs over a small portion of cooked quinoa or alongside roasted sweet potato for a more substantial meal.
