Effortless Morning Egg Scramble (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 tablespoon water or milk
02 -
4 big eggs
→ Vegetables
03 -
60 g onions, diced
04 -
60 g bell peppers, chopped
→ Protein (optional)
05 -
60 g ham or cooked bacon, chopped up
→ Dairy
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
07 -
30 g cheese, shredded (mozzarella, feta, or cheddar)
→ Seasonings and Garnish
08 -
1 tablespoon fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill, chopped up
09 -
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 -
1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust if you like
# Instructions:
01 -
Right before you serve, throw some herbs and freshly ground pepper over the top, then add a little salt. Serve right away while it’s hot.
02 -
Once your eggs look mostly set but a little soft, toss in your cheese. Move the skillet off the heat so the cheese melts with what’s left of the warmth.
03 -
Gradually pull the eggs from the edges into the center with a silicone spatula. Tip your pan to help any runny bits get cooked.
04 -
Turn the heat way down low. Pour in the egg blend and give it about 30 seconds without moving it at all.
05 -
Drop in onions, bell peppers, and any bacon or ham if you’re using it. Let them sizzle for a couple minutes so they get soft.
06 -
Set your skillet over medium heat, then add butter or oil and swirl it around until the pan’s coated.
07 -
Pop your eggs into a bowl, pour in water or milk, and whisk them well until everything’s mixed up smooth.
# Notes:
01 -
Take the eggs off the heat a bit sooner than you think—the leftover heat keeps cooking them.
02 -
Feel free to mix and match any cheese or herbs you love for your own spin.
