Vegetables
- ½ cup chopped fresh broccoli florets
- ½ cup diced fresh mushrooms
- ½ cup diced red pepper
- ½ cup diced orange pepper
- 1 cup fresh spinach
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup 1% milk
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Other
- Butter flavored cooking spray
- Grated cheddar cheese (optional)
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray it with butter flavored cooking spray. Add the broccoli florets, diced mushrooms, red pepper, and orange pepper to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Then add the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the vegetables are cooking, combine the eggs, 1% milk, black pepper, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is blended well; the longer you whisk, the fluffier the eggs will turn out.
- Cook the Eggs with Vegetables: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the eggs start to set around the edges. Use a spatula to push the eggs gently toward the center of the pan and fold them over softly. Tilt the pan to allow any uncooked egg liquid to flow to the edges and cook through. Continue this folding and tilting process until the eggs are just about set.
- Add Cheese and Finish: If using grated cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs now so it can melt slightly. Remove the skillet from heat and let the scramble rest for one minute. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy veggie egg scramble.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, whisk the eggs longer before cooking.
- Use cooking spray to keep the scramble low in fat instead of butter or oil.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or adjust the seasoning as preferred.
- Adding cheese is optional and can increase flavor and richness.
- Serve with whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
