A nutritious breakfast loaded with colorful veggies and protein-packed eggs, topped with creamy cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or almond milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup spinach, rough chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended. Set this aside for now.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they soften and caramelize.
  3. Incorporate the spinach and stir until it begins to wilt slightly.
  4. Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  5. Lower the heat and gently pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
  6. As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle in the cooked quinoa or brown rice, continuing to stir gently until the eggs are cooked through.
  7. Top the scramble with shredded cheese, covering the skillet for a minute.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with slices of avocado, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.

Notes

For fluffiest scrambled eggs, remove from heat just before fully set. Add milk to enhance creaminess.
