When it comes to the most repeated recipes in our house, scrambled eggs with cheese and vegetables are probably at the top of the list. It’s a rare day that we don’t have a cooked breakfast, and more often than not that involves eggs. I like to try and sneak in my first serve of vegetables for the day with breakfast, and adding them to my eggs is the easiest way. My first choice is always red capsicum / bell pepper and mushrooms, with a little onion for extra flavour. These veggies combined with cheese reminds me of a bit of pizza. And no one is complaining about pizza for breakfast!!

🍳 TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS
Scrambled eggs are so very easy to get so very wrong. Cook them too high or for too long, and you’ll wind up with a rubbery mess to the point of being inedible. Whisk them insufficiently, and the white and the yolk don’t fully blend together, leaving you with uneven eggs. And whisk your eggs too early before you pop them in the pan and you’ll lose the fluffiness. But never fear - with these simple tips you’ll nail your scrambled eggs every time. I have no doubt that these easy scrambled eggs with veggies will become a favourite in your home as they have in ours. As with anything, the art of cooking perfect scrambled eggs is mastered with practice. But with these tips, you’ll already be there. Having said that… when your eggs taste this good, you’ll still want to practice every day!

ADD A DASH OF MILK - For years I’ve tried making scrambled eggs in all different ways, following all the expert tips, but they just are never as good without a dash of milk. WHIP IT GOOD: If you have a blender with a cup attachment, use it to whisk the eggs. They are more uniform and much more creamier than when whisked by hand. CHOOSE YOUR FAT: Cook in ghee or butter. It’s always better than oil when eggs are concerned. LOW AND SLOW: Scrambled eggs are best when cooked slowly on low heat. Yes, they take a little longer, but they don’t dry out and it’s always worth the extra effort. SOME LIKE IT HOT: I find that adding a few drops of tabasco sauce to the eggs before whipping adds flavour without burning my mouth. Feel free to omit if you don’t like spicy, or substitute for another hot sauce. VARIATIONS: More protein - try adding ham or pepperoni. Mix up the veggies - spinach and tomato would be a great addition. To make Paleo / Whole30: Use ghee & omit cheese. UPDATE: Recipe was first published March 7, 2017.
