Chef's Note
For the creamiest scramble, remove the pan from heat when the eggs still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking from residual heat. You can customize this recipe with any seasonal vegetables you have on hand, making it perfect for using up produce before your next grocery trip!

Ingredients
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 medium bell pepper (red or green)
1 small zucchini
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 slices whole grain toast
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
- 1
Dice 1 medium bell pepper, 1 small zucchini, and 1/2 medium onion into small, even pieces (about 1/4 inch). Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 4
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- 5
Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
- 6
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano over the vegetables and stir to combine.
- 7
Add 2 cups of baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- 8
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- 9
Using a spatula, gently pull the edges of the eggs toward the center as they begin to set, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue this process for about 3-4 minutes.
- 10
When eggs are about 75% set but still moist, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the halved cherry tomatoes over the top.
- 11
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and eggs are fully set but still moist.
- 12
While the eggs finish cooking, toast 4 slices of whole grain bread and spread with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- 13
Remove the scramble from heat and garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
- 14
Serve the scramble hot with buttered toast on the side.
