Instructions
1. Directions
2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until they are light and frothy. Set aside.
3. Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, and chopped ham. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the ham is slightly browned.
4. Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another minute, stirring until it has just wilted.
5. Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables in the skillet. Let them set for about 20-30 seconds before gently pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula.
6. Continue to gently push and fold the eggs until they are softly scrambled and just cooked through. Immediately remove from heat and serve warm.
