Veggie Egg Scramble

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup diced fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup diced orange bell pepper
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 6 large eggs (see note below)
• 1/4 cup 1% milk
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Butter-flavored cooking spray
• Grated cheddar cheese, optional

Instructions:

Step 1: Saute the Vegetables

1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Add chopped broccoli, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and orange bell pepper to the skillet. Saute for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
3. Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.

Step 2: Prepare the Eggs

1. While the vegetables are sauteing, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, black pepper, and salt until well blended. Whisking thoroughly will make the eggs fluffier when cooked.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

1. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sauteed vegetables.
2. Let it cook for about 1 minute until the eggs start to set.
3. Gently push the eggs towards the center of the pan and fold them over. Tilt the pan slightly to allow any liquid egg to cook through.
4. Continue folding and cooking until the eggs are almost fully set. If using grated cheddar cheese, sprinkle it over the eggs at this point.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and let the eggs rest for one minute.

Step 4: Serve

1. Divide the egg scramble onto plates or into meal prep containers if making ahead.
2. Serve and enjoy this delicious and nutritious Veggie-Packed Egg Scramble!

Notes:

• You can substitute egg whites for some of the whole eggs. Use 2 egg whites for every 1 whole egg.
• For meal prep, divide the cooked scramble into 3 food storage containers. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes in an oven-safe bowl.
• The nutritional information provided is based on using 6 whole eggs. Adjust accordingly if you use egg whites or add optional cheese.
