Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and chop the mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, and onions) into small, uniform pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the whisked eggs with salt and pepper, stirring gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chopped mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly softened and fragrant.
- Pour the seasoned eggs into the skillet with the vegetables, using a spatula to gently stir and scramble the mixture.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, continuously folding and stirring to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs.
- When the eggs are almost fully set but still slightly moist, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
- Continue cooking for an additional 30-60 seconds until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the veggie egg cheese scramble to serving plates.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs or black pepper if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- • For the most vibrant and flavorful scramble, use fresh, crisp vegetables and high-quality eggs. • Chop vegetables into uniform, small pieces to ensure even cooking and distribution. • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and make cleaning easier. • Keep the heat at medium to prevent overcooking and maintain a creamy, soft egg texture. • Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or feta for unique flavor profiles. • Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley for an extra burst of freshness. • For a protein boost, consider adding diced ham or cooked bacon to the scramble. • Don't overcook the eggs - they should be soft and slightly moist when you remove them from heat. • Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and melted cheese experience.
