You know those mornings when you wake up and just need a burst of vibrant energy? That’s where this Flavor-Packed Vegetable Breakfast Scramble comes in—it’s like sunshine on a plate. Imagine the sizzling sound of veggies dancing in a pan, mingling with the aroma of fresh spices, as you sip your morning coffee and ponder why we ever thought cereal was a good idea.
Steps
- Begin by heating 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add diced bell pepper and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Next, add fresh spinach and cook briefly until it wilts, about one minute.
- Move the vegetables to the sides of the skillet and crack two eggs in the center. Sprinkle your preferred seasoning over the eggs and vegetables. Keep the skillet on medium heat and start scrambling the eggs, incorporating them with the vegetables.
- Once the eggs are mostly cooked, take the skillet off the heat. Transfer the scrambled eggs and vegetables into a bowl. Top with halved grape tomatoes, sliced avocado, a dollop of hummus, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
