Vegetable Breakfast Scrambles
Description
This recipe begins by sautéing diced bell pepper in butter over medium heat, then quickly wilting spinach to maintain some texture. Eggs seasoned with chosen spices are then added to the skillet, cooked gently and scrambled together with the vegetables. Once mostly set, the scramble is removed from heat to prevent overcooking.
Served in a bowl, the scramble is garnished with halved grape tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a quarter cup of hummus, providing fresh, creamy, and tangy contrasts to the warm eggs and vegetables. The choice of seasoning, such as onion salt or Cajun spices, customizes the flavor profile.
This dish works well for a balanced breakfast combining protein, healthy fats, and vegetables. It is best consumed immediately to enjoy the contrasting temperatures and fresh toppings.
