Ingredients
Before we get cracking (pun intended!), here’s what you’ll need for this delightful egg recipe:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or your dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup of chopped veggies (bell peppers, spinach, or whatever strikes your fancy!)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or mozzarella – your call!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
Steps to Cooking Egg-ceptional Eggs
- Preheat your Skillet: Start by heating your trusty skillet over medium heat. A drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter works wonders to keep those eggs from sticking!
- Whisk it Up: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until they’re beautifully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season, because every egg deserves a little love!
- Veggie Time: Toss in your choice of chopped veggies. Not only do veggies add flavor, they also bring a splash of color to the dish. Plus, if your kids are picky eaters, they won’t even realize they’re munching on something healthy!
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into your preheated skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs start to set. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Remember, low and slow is the name of the game!
- Cheesy Goodness: When the eggs are almost done, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Cover with a lid and let it melt like a morning sunbeam for another couple of minutes.
- Serve It Up: Once your eggs are fluffy and the cheese is melted, scoop them onto plates, and garnish with fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy. Voilà! Your egg recipe is ready to dazzle!
Cooking Tips
- Don’t Overcook: One of the keys to perfectly scrambled eggs is to cook them gently. Nobody wants rubbery eggs, am I right?
- Mix it Up: Feel free to swap out ingredients based on what you have on hand. Leftover cooked meats, different cheeses, and various veggies can all be used here.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these scrambled eggs in advance for a quick breakfast during the week. Just reheat gently in the microwave!
