Egg and Vegetable Scramble (Printable)

Fluffy scrambled eggs with cherry tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, and zucchini. Ready in 20 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk or dairy-free alternative
03 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Vegetables

04 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
05 - 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
06 - 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
07 - 1/4 cup zucchini, diced
08 - 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped

→ Finishing

09 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil, chopped

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
03 - Add red onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 2 minutes until softened.
04 - Add zucchini and cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes while stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted, approximately 1 minute.
06 - Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables. Allow to set for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the eggs from the edges toward the center.
07 - Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still soft and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
08 - Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes elegant enough to impress someone at your table, but honest enough that you won't stress about execution.
  • Twenty minutes from cold pan to warm plate means breakfast doesn't have to be a production.
  • The vegetables keep everything light and colorful, so you actually feel nourished instead of sluggish afterward.
02 -
  • Low to medium heat is your friend because high heat turns scrambled eggs grainy and tough, and you'll regret rushing.
  • The eggs continue to cook slightly after you remove the pan from heat, so pulling them away when they still look a touch wet is actually the right move.
03 -
  • Whisk your eggs until they're pale and slightly frothy, which takes about thirty seconds longer than you think but makes all the difference in fluffiness.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or keep a little extra oil or butter on hand because sticking ruins the entire vibe of a soft scramble.
