Calories per serving: ~350 kcal

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup baby spinach
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 slices whole grain bread
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Hot sauce or shredded cheese (optional, to taste)
