Instructions

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat spray with butter flavored cooking spray.

Add 1 cup fresh spinach and cook another 2 minutes to wilt the spinach.
While the veggies are sauteing, in a medium sizd mixing bowl add 6 large eggs , ¼ cup 1% milk , ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt eggs. Whisk to blend the eggs. (The longer the eggs are whisked, the fluffier they are when cooked.)
