Recipe: Fluffy Veggie Scrambled Eggs 🥦🍅
Servings: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (or cream, for extra fluffiness)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- ½ small onion, finely chopped
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small tomato, chopped
- A handful of fresh spinach leaves
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), for garnish
Instructions:
- Whisk the eggs
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs, add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture looks light and slightly frothy. This step makes the eggs extra fluffy. - Sauté the veggies
Heat olive oil (or butter) in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in tomato and spinach, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts. - Cook the eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking until the eggs are soft and slightly creamy. - Add cheese
Sprinkle cheese on top and cook for another 30 seconds, just until melted. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking. - Serve and enjoy
Transfer scrambled eggs onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with toasted bread, avocado slices, or fresh fruit on the side.
Variations to Try:
- Cheesy Scramble → Add extra cheddar or feta for a richer flavor.
- Protein Boost → Toss in diced chicken, turkey bacon, or smoked salmon.
- Mediterranean Style → Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and a sprinkle of oregano.
- Spicy Kick → Mix in jalapeños or chili flakes.
