Recipe Overview
- Servings: 2
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free option)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), for garnish
- Some broccoli
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach, and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to sit for a few seconds before gently stirring. Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness. For a softer scramble, cook for a shorter time; for firmer eggs, cook a little longer.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the scramble with fresh herbs. Serve immediately, alongside toast, avocado, or a side of fresh fruit for a complete meal.
Tips for a Perfect Breakfast Scramble
For the best texture, cook the eggs over medium-low heat and avoid over-stirring, which can make them rubbery. You can add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or kale, to enhance the flavor and nutritional profile. For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk.
