Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 10 1/2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 bunch green onions, minced
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, water, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Sauté the spinach until it wilts (about 2 to 3 minutes).

  5. Transfer the spinach-bean mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly.
  6. Pour the eggs over the spinach-bean mixture.
  7. Add the green onions. Use a fork to stir, ensuring that the spinach-bean mixture and green onions are fully coated in egg.
