Cook the Veggies and Egg
- Saute the veggies in a small frying pan until tender. (You can also use raw veggies if you prefer). Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn.
- Push the veggies to one side of the hot pan and add the egg. Scramble the egg until cooked and mix with the veggies. If the mixture seems dry, add a teaspoon of butter or oil.
