Scrambled Eggs with Vegetables

Scrambled Eggs with Vegetables are a staple in our breakfast rotation. We love to experiment with different vegetable combinations.

Scrambled eggs are my husbands favorite way to eat eggs. I make them a variety of ways with different vegetable combinations. Adding vegetables to eggs is a great way to get the day started right with vitamins and nutrients.  I often make extra vegetables with dinner the night before so I have them for our morning eggs.

Vegetables can be cooked a variety of ways such as steamed, roasted, sautéed, microwaved, etc. before adding them to eggs. Sometimes I add pickled or raw vegetables depending on what I have on hand. Strangely sourcrout is great with eggs.  

How to make Scrambled Eggs

When cooking for one person I add 1 egg and a 1/2 teaspoon of milk to a bowl then whisk combination until frothily. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can easily scale up this ratio for more people.

  • Add 1 teaspoon of butter/bacon grease/oil to a frying pan. 
  • Heat the pan on low. Once pan is heated pour in egg mixture. 
  • Slowly stir until the eggs reach the consistency you are looking for.

Toppings for Scrambled Eggs

  • Fresh herbs such as chives, flat leaf parsley, oregano, etc.
  • Shredded cheese
  • Fresh tomato
  • Leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, micro greens, etc
  • Pickled vegetables such as jalapeno, onion, zucchini, etc
  • Olives 
  • Salsa
  • Hot Sauce
