A quick and easy recipe for fluffy scrambled eggs packed with fresh veggies, perfect for a nourishing and colorful breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%) or dairy-free milk substitute
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), diced
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley or chives), chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies: Dice the yellow onion and bell peppers into small, even pieces. Roughly chop the baby spinach and halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic if using.
  2. Beat the eggs: Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, a pinch of kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk vigorously until pale yellow and slightly frothy.
  3. Sauté the veggies: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned (about 3 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in spinach and cherry tomatoes and cook until spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook the eggs: Reduce heat to low. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed veggies. Let sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula, pushing eggs from edges to center. Continue folding slowly until eggs are fluffy and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Finish and garnish: When eggs are mostly set but still glossy, remove pan from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Use low heat to avoid rubbery eggs and burnt veggies. Whisk eggs well to incorporate air for fluffiness. Prep veggies ahead to save time. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use olive oil instead of butter. Avoid overcooking to keep eggs moist and creamy.
