Scrambled eggs with veggies is a quick and tasty breakfast or light meal. It mixes fluffy eggs with colorful peppers, spinach, or tomatoes for a healthy boost and great flavor.
I like adding extra cheese or hot sauce to make it more fun. Sometimes I even sneak in a little avocado—yummy and good for me!
To save time, chop your veggies ahead of time. I find that makes breakfast super easy and gives me more time to enjoy the morning.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Fresh eggs are key for fluffy eggs. I usually buy medium or large ones. If you want fewer calories, try using egg whites or a mix of egg whites and whole eggs. They still taste great and cook up just as nicely.
Bell Peppers: These add color and crunch. I like red or orange for sweetness but green works well too. You can swap with chopped tomatoes or zucchini if you prefer a milder veggie flavor.
Spinach: Fresh spinach brings a soft, leafy texture. I often use baby spinach—it’s milder. Frozen spinach works too—just ensure it’s drained well to avoid excess moisture.
Onions: Diced onions add flavor. Yellow or sweet onions are good options. If you’re sensitive to raw onion flavor, lightly cook them beforehand to mellow the taste.
Cheese: Shredded cheese like cheddar or feta melts into the eggs nicely. I love feta for a tangy kick. You can leave it out or substitute with shredded mozzarella for a milder taste.
How do I scramble eggs without overcooking or turning rubbery?
Use low heat and gentle stirring. Start by whisking eggs well, then pour into a preheated pan. Cook slowly, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until eggs are just set. Remove from heat early—they’ll keep cooking a little afterward.
- 1. Keep the heat low to prevent crispy edges and rubbery eggs.
- 2. Stir continuously to get creamy, soft curds, not tough bits.
- 3. Remove from heat just before they look fully cooked; residual heat will finish them.
