Multicoloured Scrambled Eggs Skillet with Vegetables

For a hearty, filling and protein packed breakfast or brunch eat your scrambled eggs loaded up with plenty of veggies. Not only it looks cheery and colourful but is healthy and delicious as well!

For a hearty, filling and protein packed breakfast or brunch eat your scrambled eggs loaded up with plenty of veggies. Not only it looks cheery and colourful but is healthy and delicious as well!

Boyfriend likes to have a big breakfast or rather brunch on weekends. Usually the menu consits of freshly squeezed orange juice with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and tomatoes.

Well last week I wanted to shake up the weekend routine and make our brunch a bit more exciting, so I convinced him to let me make the scrambled eggs, which I then loaded with plenty of vegetables. (I can be sneaky like that ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

I put in everything I found in our fridge: scallions, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms andย red pepper. (Since Boyfriend’s a carnivore I also added some ham to his eggs as he likes how it adds a smoky flavour, but even without the ham the eggs were plenty flavourful, so it’s completely optional.)

What is great with this scrambled eggs skillet is that you can change it up any way you want: if you don’t like mushrooms leave them out, if you want to add some corn or peas, go ahead, same with eggplant pieces, olives, tofu, or grated cheese. It’s like a big mix ‘n’ match: add in whatever you feel like, it will just make the skillet more colourful and flavourful.

We ate it with some fresh juicyย tomatoes and multigrain baguette, but if you are looking for a really filling breakfast you could eat it with bacon and baked beans.

Author: Stella
Recipe type: Breakfast, Brunch
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients
  • 3-5 scallions, cut up
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1 zucchini, sliced and quartered
  • 1 red pepper (you can use bell pepper as well), diced
  • 1 cup sliced mushroom
  • 5-6 eggs (depending on their size)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of herbs: basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram (optional) - I used dried herbs, but you can use fresh ones if you have some on hand
Instructions
  1. In a skillet heat the oil, then add the cut up vegetables. Sautรฉ them for 5-8 minutes.
  2. In a bowl scramble the eggs, add a pinch of salt and the herbs, and pour over the vegetables once the zucchini and pepper start to soften.
  3. Cook for about 6-10 minutes until the eggs are cooked through.
  4. Serve immediately while still warm with fresh tomatoes and bread (bacon and baked beans are optional).
Notes
1. If you are not vegetarian you may add ham/bacon to the eggs: instead of the olive/coconut oil put the bacon pieces in the heated skillet and use the bacon grease, just be careful not to burn the bacon.
2. I like to use herbs as they add more flavour to dishes: you may use dry or fresh herbs, and it's completely up to your preferences with what you sprinkle your eggs.

    MMmm my mom used to call these “scrumbles” and she chucked in some potatoes so it was a mix between a scramble and home fries. This looks delish

      I agree, but I had to convince Boyfriend, because until recently he only ate some tomatoes with his eggs on the side, not mixed in them.

      Thank you Nagi! Your feedback is even more appreciated, because I was debating whether it is too unusual to put in the name of the recipe, but since it is the name I referred to it in my head, and I found one of the great things about this skillet how many different colours are in my plate, I decided to leave it. Glad it made you smile ๐Ÿ™‚ I like colours, a rainbow of colours always cheers me up ๐Ÿ™‚
