- Scramble eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk (if using), salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Whisk until well combined.
- Cook veggies: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to burst, about 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
