Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced

- ¾ cup white button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- Splash of milk (or water)
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Notes
Veggies: This is endlessly versatile. I’ve given you a starting point in the recipe below, but you could also use broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes or any other favorite veggie you have on hand. Just make sure they are cooked and tender when you add the eggs.
Eggs: I prefer mixing these into the skillet to make a scramble (per the recipe name) but you could also crack one to two eggs into the pan to fry and serve it that way.
Cheese: Pick your favorite cheese for serving with this egg scramble! I love shredded cheddar or mozzarella, or a blend cheese, or sometimes I’ll use crumbled feta cheese. Goat cheese would be really good, too.
Servings: This is written for 1 large serving. Of course, you can easily double or quadruple the recipe if you’re serving more people. Or just add an extra egg if you’re feeling hungry.
Add-ins: Also, free to add some protein if you want to bulk up this meal. Cooked chicken or turkey or leftover pork or steak would all work, or even just some bacon to serve it with. You can also add some sliced or crumbled cooked sausage to the skillet to warm through. Or keep it vegetarian and toss in some black beans.
