Ingredients
(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)
▢2 eggs ▢1 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms) ▢1 tbsp olive oil ▢Salt to taste ▢Pepper to taste
Directions
I start by heating the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, I add the chopped vegetables and sauté them for a few minutes until they begin to soften and release their flavor. I crack the eggs directly into the pan and gently stir everything together, letting the eggs cook just until set. I finish by seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, then serve it right away.
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes 1 serving. Prep takes about 5 minutes, cooking takes around 7 minutes, and the total time comes to approximately 12 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add spinach or zucchini for extra vegetables. When I want more richness, I sprinkle in a little cheese near the end. I also like adding herbs or spices like paprika or chili flakes to change the flavor profile.
Storage/Reheating
I prefer eating this dish fresh, but if needed, I store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, I warm it gently in a pan or microwave until just heated through.
