Scrambled Egg and Veggie Bowl (Printable)

Fluffy eggs with sautéed vegetables and melted cheese in a wholesome breakfast bowl

# Ingredient List:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk
03 - 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Vegetables

05 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
06 - 1/2 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
07 - 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
08 - 1/4 cup zucchini, diced
09 - 2 green onions, sliced

→ Seasoning

10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
12 - Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
02 - Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
03 - Add bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened.
04 - Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and green onions, cooking until spinach wilts.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Pour in the egg mixture and allow to set for a few seconds.
06 - Gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edge toward the center until large, soft curds form.
07 - When eggs are just barely set, sprinkle cheese over the top. Remove from heat and cover for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
08 - Divide between two bowls and top with a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under 20 minutes, which means you can actually sit down and eat before rushing out the door.
  • The cheese melts right into the eggs, making everything taste richer than it has any right to be.
  • You can throw whatever vegetables are hanging around in your fridge into this, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • The moment you think the eggs look done, they're actually not quite there yet—they'll keep cooking from the heat of the pan even after you remove it, so undershoot by a tiny bit or you'll end up with something rubbery.
  • Crowding the pan with vegetables before the eggs go in is the difference between a bowl that feels intentional and one that feels haphazard, so don't skip that sauté step.
03 -
  • Whisking your eggs the night before actually works great—they stay frothy and you shave off decision-making time when you're tired.
  • If you're cooking for more than two people, make the bowls one at a time instead of trying to double the pan ingredients, since scrambled eggs need space and attention.
