Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 small (diced) yellow bell pepper
- 1 small (diced) zucchini
- 0.5 medium (diced) red onion
- 10 pieces (halved) grape tomatoes
- 1 cup (roughly chopped) baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground, or to taste) black pepper
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, if using, along with the salt and black pepper. Whisk everything together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute.
Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
Add the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color.
Stir in the grape tomatoes and baby spinach. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach starts to wilt.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.
If using cheese, sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top and let it melt for about 30 seconds before removing the skillet from the heat.
Transfer the scramble to plates or bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
