Ingredients

6 large egg whites (or carton egg whites)
2 tsp olive oil
6 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cups baby spinach
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 tsp dried)
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, lightly beat 6 large egg whites (or carton egg whites) with a fork and season with half the 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
2

Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 oz sliced cremini mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until they begin to brown.
3

Stir the mushrooms and cook 2 more minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 thinly sliced green onions, 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 tsp dried); cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
4

Add 2 cups baby spinach and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with remaining kosher salt and black pepper.
5

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the beaten large egg whites (or carton egg whites). Using a rubber spatula, gently fold and push the curds toward the center as they set, leaving them soft and slightly underdone. Remove from heat when just cooked through. Serve immediately.

Questions

How do I know when Savory Spinach Mushroom Egg White Scramble is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 2: cook until they begin to brown.

Why fold instead of stir in Savory Spinach Mushroom Egg White Scramble?

Step 5 reads: "Using a rubber spatula, gently fold and push the curds toward the center as they set, leaving them soft and slightly underdone." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 5 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Is Savory Spinach Mushroom Egg White Scramble spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Savory Spinach Mushroom Egg White Scramble comes from 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.
