Ingredients You’ll Need

See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

  • Eggs – Eggs naturally contain about 60-70mg of sodium per large egg. We try to get cage free / free range eggs when we can. There isn’t any nutritional difference, but I always try to support animal welfare when I can!
  • Onions
  • Olive Oil
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Greens – You can use spinach, kale, or any other green you have on hand (chopped collard greens or arugula would be delicious).
  • Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
  • Milk of choice
  • Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
