  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Sauté Vegetables

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare Egg Mixture
