Mushroom-Spinach Scrambled Eggs is one of my go-to quick and easy vegetarian, high-protein breakfast recipes.
Mushroom-Spinach Scrambled Eggs
This quick breakfast scramble for one is high in protein and low in carbs. I always like to incorporate at least 20 grams of protein after a workout, and this scramble is a healthy way to achieve that goal with real food rather than protein shakes. If you wish, you can also add cheese. Some of my other favorite scrambled egg recipes are these Huevos Pericos and Meal Prep Breakfast Taco Scramble.
High-Protein Breakfast
These healthy mushroom scrambled eggs have 24 grams of protein. Mixing an egg white in with my eggs is an easy way to add lean protein while still getting the health benefits of the yolk with the other two eggs. Most of eggs’ nutrition actually comes from the yolk, so you definitely don’t want to skip it!
What are the benefits of eating mushrooms?
Mushrooms are a “rich, low-calorie source of vitamin B, fiber, protein, and antioxidants.” They can help lower blood pressure and boost your immune system. If you are interested in adding more mushrooms to your diet, you should check out this Mushroom Stroganoff and Braised Chicken Thighs with Mushrooms and Leeks.
Variations:
- Eggs: You can easily add an extra egg or use one less depending on how hungry you are. If you want to use three whole eggs instead of the one egg white, feel free.
- Mushrooms: Use shiitake or baby bella mushrooms. If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, swap them for another veggie, like chopped broccoli, bell pepper, or zucchini.
- Spinach: If you don’t have fresh spinach, frozen will work.
- Cheese: Add some gruyere, cheddar, feta or mozzarella cheese in your scramble.
- Heat: Add hot sauce for some extra spice.
- Serving Size: You can easily double or triple this egg recipe if you need to feed more people.

Love! Thank you ❤️
Excellent
I made this with 3 whole eggs. I skip the 1tbsp water because the mushrooms is already watery. Is that ok?
I like it because it’s a simple recipe, and the ingredients are inexpensive and readily available everywhere.
It is simple and easy to prepare, and easy to digest.
Made this today because I started a low carb diet last week and it was delicious. I left out the onions and it was still great. Too early in the morning for them! Would recommend this one, keeping this one in my recipe box.
Excellent
Yum!
Excellent protein-filled breakfast! I used the Tbsp of water as listed in the written instructions and found that to be too much so I’ll use the tsp as shown in the ingredient list. Definitely on repeat!
It was pretty wet eggs. I’ll try cooking the mushrooms a little more and not add that extra water. It was tasty and filling though.
Turned out really great – thanks!
Love this recipe. I found it over a year ago and it quickly became my favorite breakfast. Thank you!
I really love all your recipes. This one is delicious and easy. I had half of a tomato left over so I chopped that up and added it with the spinach.
Delicious! Made this for breakfast and it was quick and easy. Added extra spinach and only added 2 eggs, didn’t have fresh mushrooms so I used canned. Will definitely make again.
Very tasty and filling, quick to put together
Tasty and low cal
I love this recipe. I stumbled across it and it’s delicious. I also saute garlic as well. such a healthy breakfast or brunch!
So good! I added some diced red pepper and used nutritional yeast instead of cheese.
I was looking for something different and quick for breakfast. This is my go to site for recipes. I had all the ingredients home and it was low in WW points. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be making it again.
Delicious and quick to make. This is on repeat for my husband and I on a low calorie/high protein plan. Keeps us on track and satisfied!
I just made this for lunch. Delicious! I left out the egg white and added cheddar cheese. Very filling! This will definitely be a regular recipe for me.
That recipe is very good. I can’t what to try it!!!
simple and delicious recipe!
Why add 1 large egg whites ?
It adds extra lean protein. You can use a whole egg if you prefer.
Very good Mother’s Day breakfast.
So delicious! I typically have scrambled eggs or sunny side eggs…this took breakfast to a new level while getting in some veggies. Loved it and will make it again
Absolutely delicious! I’m allergic to egg whites so I used yolks and tofu. Topping with chives is a must!
Thank you for the nutrition breakdown. I added this to my food log in Noom. Your website is amazing. I’ve been cooking from it for years now. Keep it up.
Thank you for including the orange WW link. Your thoughtfulness and hard work helps people like me get back/stay on track.
My husband and I both loved this! So flavorful, healthy, and easy to make!!
Hubby and I loved this! We used our fresh eggs from our chickens. It made so much for one serving, we just split it in two and shared. Thank you!!
I sure wish you still did the WW points on your recipes. This has been my go to site for meal ideas without having to try to figure it out on WW. But I still love your recipes!
Did you know that on many recipes on this site you can click “WW Personal Points” and it opens ww recipe builder and you can track in a single click? It’s so cool!
Totally love this breakfast!! Tastes great, easy to make and is so healthy….great way to start the day!
Absolutely delicious!
I love this! It reminded me of a dish in a local restaurant that was called “Julie’s Special” so I made mine just like Julie’s special by using 1 oz of lean ground beef that I had left over from another recipe and I upped the garlicky content. I also used parmesan instead of swiss. I love swiss, but Julie’s special is garlicky and parmesany. I didn’t use the third egg (white) and I used less oil to adjust the calories.
These were so good! My husband & I loved them.
Super delicious recipe! I didnt use the same portions of mushrooms or spinach but it still came out great! First time trying mushrooms and im so happy. Very filling and nice taste
Loved the combination of mushrooms and spinach to scrambled eggs. It makes for a filling and healthy meal for anytime of day. I doubled the recipe to serve 2.
Very very good. I was surprised how filling this was. Definitely will make again.
Delicious!! Made this morning. Extremely filling.
Hi, it seems like 388 calories is a little high. Does it include the cheese? I thought optional ingredients were not included in the nutritional information?
Thanks
I’ve updated it. 🙂
This sounds great! Just want to clarify the nutritional info. I follow WW points plus and this comes out to 11 points. Does that sound about right to you? Is there really 28.5g of fat? Thank you!
This is only 2 points, see orange button takes you to recipe builder.
Catherine, using the nutrition calculator in the WW app does not properly calculate your personal 0 point foods. Always use the recipe builder.
I’m in Canada, and can’t use this function 🙁
This was very good
Love this! Have to try soon. Question: is it 1 tablespoon or 1 teaspoon of water?
tablespoon
This recipe hit my email on a chilly Sunday morning and since I happened to have all the ingredients on hand, I made it immediately. Super easy, super quick, and very very filling!! Another delicious winner from Gina!
Awesome
I make this with a little bit of cream cheese added in; sublime!
yum!
Great breakfast….love it! I add grape tomatos
I agree 100%! I chopped up some grape tomatoes and gave them a quick saute in the pan after I took the final egg mix out. It warmed up the tomatoes and removed some of the liquid. When I added to the dish it brightened it up so much I think it really helped.
Do you think this could also be made as an egg bake to meal prep for the week??
Sure
Beautiful Sunday breakfast.
this dish is so good and easy, I added some chopped peppers that I had, you can use anything in your fridge (produce) thanks for your recipes they are always good.
Einstein would’ve loved these eggs!
Does the nutritional information include cheese or no cheese?
NI has been updated- does not include the cheese.
Great, a favorite 👌
Delicious and really filling. I doubled it for 2 people but 1 serving would’ve been enough for both of us.
Perfect!
ty for the yummy recipes, im in WW and it helps.
