Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pcs eggs fresh, large
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers diced, any color
  • 1 cup spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
  • optional cheese or herbs for topping

Equipment

  • non-stick pan
  • Spatula
  • Bowl
  • Knife
  • Chopping board

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until fully blended and slightly frothy.
  2. Chop the bell peppers into small, uniform pieces and roughly chop the spinach. Finely dice the onion as well.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until it shimmers and you can smell a faint nutty aroma.
  4. Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant and slightly translucent.
  5. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly and release their sweet aroma.
  6. Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook for about 1 minute until wilted and tender, stirring gently.
  7. Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables, reducing the heat to low. Let sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.
  8. Gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set and creamy.
  9. Optional: sprinkle cheese or fresh herbs over the scramble just before removing from heat for added flavor.
  10. Turn off the heat and let the scramble rest for a minute. The dish should appear fluffy, colorful, with tender bits of vegetables and softly cooked eggs.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired, and enjoy the vibrant, nourishing breakfast.

Notes

Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or cheeses. For extra protein, add cooked bacon or sausage. Keep the heat gentle to achieve a tender, fluffy scramble.
