Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cup (diced) zucchini
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.25 cup (diced) yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the salt and black pepper. Whisk well until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly translucent.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs sit for a few seconds, then gently stir and fold the mixture with a spatula.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still soft and fluffy.
Remove the scrambled eggs from heat and serve immediately. Optional: Top with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor.
