03 - 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Vegetables

05 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

# Cooking Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
02 - Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
03 - Add bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
04 - Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and green onions, cooking until spinach wilts.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Pour in the egg mixture and allow to set for a few seconds.
06 - Gently stir with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edge toward the center until large, soft curds form.
07 - When eggs are just barely set, sprinkle cheese over the top. Remove from heat and cover for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
08 - Divide between two bowls and top with a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can brew coffee, perfect for mornings when time actually matters.
  • The eggs stay impossibly fluffy because you're learning the gentle hand technique that transforms scrambled eggs from rubbery to cloud-like.
  • It tastes like you put effort in, but honestly, you're just sautéing some vegetables and stirring eggs.
02 -
  • Scrambled eggs overcook in seconds, so remove your pan from heat while they still look slightly underdone because the residual heat will finish the job perfectly.
  • Whisking milk into your eggs before cooking genuinely changes the texture from standard to luxurious, and this one small step is what separates good scrambled eggs from the kind you crave.
03 -
  • Prep all your vegetables before you turn on the stove because once things start cooking, the timeline moves quickly and you won't have time to dice anything.
  • Invest in a decent nonstick skillet if you don't have one, because watching eggs slide across the pan without sticking is genuinely one of life's small joys.
