Method
Egg mixture
Whisk eggs and season
Crack the 4 large eggs into a medium bowl. Add 3 tbsp whole milk, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 20–30 seconds. Set aside.
Vegetable sauté
Prepare vegetables
Trim and dice the yellow onion (to yield 1/2 cup), red bell pepper (1/2 cup), and zucchini (1/2 cup). Slice mushrooms to make 1/2 cup. Mince 1 garlic clove and rinse the baby spinach.
Cook vegetables
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté 3–4 minutes until softened. Add zucchini and mushrooms and continue to cook 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender and starting to brown. Add the minced garlic and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the 1 cup baby spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
Cook eggs
Scramble the eggs
Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add a light drizzle of oil or a small knob of butter if needed. Pour in the whisked egg mixture. Let eggs sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until the edges begin to set. Using a silicone spatula, gently push eggs from the edges toward the center, forming large soft curds. Continue to gently scramble, removing the pan from heat when eggs are still slightly moist — they will continue to cook off the heat — about 2–3 minutes total. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
