Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 small, diced zucchini
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
• 2 stalks, finely sliced green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup (optional) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Step 3

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to release their juices.

Step 5

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it wilts down.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables. Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds to begin setting.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs, scraping from the edges of the skillet toward the center to form soft curds. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (if using) and green onions over the scramble, and gently fold once more until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking and serve warm. Enjoy your Garden Scramble!
