Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and green onions, cooking until spinach wilts.

Step 5

Reduce heat to low. Pour in the egg mixture and allow to set for a few seconds.

Step 6

Gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edge toward the center until large, soft curds form.

Step 7

When eggs are just barely set, sprinkle cheese over the top. Remove from heat and cover for 1 minute to melt the cheese.

Step 8

Divide between two bowls and top with a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the fluffiest eggs, ensure you whisk the mixture until it is smooth and frothy before adding it to the pan. When cooking, use a low heat and a gentle stirring motion to create large, soft curds rather than small, dry pieces.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This recipe is highly adaptable. You can swap in any seasonal vegetables such as mushrooms, asparagus, or kale. For a different flavor profile, replace the cheddar with feta, Monterey Jack, or Swiss cheese.

Serviervorschläge

Serve this breakfast bowl immediately while the cheese is hot and gooey. It pairs wonderfully with toasted gluten-free bread or fresh avocado slices for a more filling and complete meal.

Common Recipe Questions

→ What vegetables work best in this bowl?

Cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, bell pepper, and zucchini provide a nice mix of flavors and textures. You can easily substitute mushrooms, asparagus, kale, or any seasonal vegetables you prefer.

→ How do I keep the eggs fluffy?

Whisk the eggs with milk until slightly frothy, then cook over medium-low heat. Gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing large soft curds to form. Avoid overcooking to maintain fluffiness.

→ Can I make this ahead of time?

For best results, prepare this bowl fresh and serve immediately. The vegetables can be chopped ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but the eggs are most flavorful when cooked just before eating.

→ What cheese alternatives work well?

Sharp cheddar provides classic flavor, but feta adds tanginess, Monterey Jack melts beautifully, and Swiss offers a nutty taste. Choose based on your preference and what complements your vegetable selection.

→ How can I make this more filling?

Serve with toasted whole grain bread, avocado slices, or breakfast potatoes. You can also add more vegetables or increase the portion of eggs for additional protein to keep you satisfied longer.

→ Is this suitable for meal prep?

While best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the chopped vegetables in advance. Cook the mixture just before serving for optimal texture and flavor. Reheated eggs may become rubbery, so fresh preparation is recommended.
