Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you need to make one super bowl of goodness:
| Ingredient | Amount | Why it’s awesome |
|---|---|---|
| Eggs | 2 large | Protein power! |
| Spinach, fresh | 2 cups, packed | Vitamins & greens! |
| Cherry tomatoes | ½ cup, halved | Sweetness & juice! |
| Red onion, finely diced | 1 tablespoon | Flavor boost! |
| Garlic powder | ¼ teaspoon | Extra yummy taste! |
| Smoked paprika | ⅛ teaspoon | Smoky flavor kick! |
| Salt & pepper | To taste | Seasoning magic! |
| Olive oil spray | 2 sprays | For cooking |
Let’s Get Cooking! Easy Steps
- Prep the Veggies: Wash the spinach and tomatoes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion.
- Cook the Onion & Spinach: Spray a small pan with olive oil spray. Heat the pan over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook for about 1 minute until it starts to soften. Add the spinach to the pan and cook until it wilts down – this will only take a minute or two. Keep stirring it so it cooks evenly.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together with a fork until it’s mixed well and a bit frothy.
- Scramble Time: Push the spinach and onion to one side of the pan. Spray a tiny bit more olive oil spray in the empty space. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring, then gently start to push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath. Keep doing this until the eggs are mostly cooked but still a little bit soft and creamy – don’t overcook them!
- Combine and Serve: Gently mix the spinach and onion with the scrambled eggs. Slide the yummy egg and spinach mix into a bowl. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
- Enjoy! Eat it right away while it’s warm and delicious.

Top Tips for Scrambled Egg Success
- Don’t overcook the eggs! Take them off the heat when they are still a little bit soft for the best creamy texture. They will continue to cook a bit from the heat.
- Low and Slow: Cooking the onion and spinach gently brings out their best flavors.
- Spice it Up: Smoked paprika adds a really cool smoky flavor, but if you don’t have it, regular paprika or a pinch of chili flakes works too.
- Fresh is Best (for Spinach): Fresh spinach wilts down nicely and has a better texture than frozen for this recipe.
Mix it Up! Ingredient Swaps
Want to change things up a bit? Here are some easy swaps:
- Spinach Swap: Don’t have spinach? Try kale, baby bok choy, or even some chopped-up lettuce. Just cook them until they are wilted.
- Tomato Twist: Any kind of tomato will work! Use chopped regular tomatoes, or even some sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor (just use a small amount of sun-dried as they are stronger in flavor).
- Onion Options: If you don’t like red onion, use white or yellow onion, or even a bit of shallot. You can also skip the onion if you really don’t like it.
- Spice Rack Adventure: Experiment with different spices! Try adding a pinch of cumin, oregano, or Italian herbs instead of smoked paprika.
What Goes Great with This Bowl? Serving Ideas
This breakfast bowl is awesome on its own, but if you want to make it even more of a meal, try adding:
- Toast Time: Serve it with a slice of wholewheat toast or a toasted English muffin for some extra carbs.
- Avocado Awesome: A few slices of avocado on top adds healthy fats and creaminess.
- Cheese Please: Sprinkle a little bit of grated cheese like parmesan or cheddar on top for extra flavor (remember to add the calories if you’re watching them!).
- Side of Fruit: A small bowl of berries or sliced melon on the side makes it a super balanced breakfast.
