When your garden (or farmers market) is filling your produce basket to overflowing, try stirring some chopped vegetables into your scrambled eggs.
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup fat-free, 2%, or whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh or frozen vegetables of your choice (bell pepper, onion, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, cauliflower and/or asparagus)
Directions:
- In medium bowl, use a fork to beat eggs until combined. Add milk, salt and pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
- In large nonstick skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add desired vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Pour egg mixture over hot vegetables. Cook, without stirring, until eggs start to become firm on the bottom and around the edges.
- Using heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, gently lift and fold egg mixture, forming large soft pieces.
- Continue cooking and lifting egg mixture about 4 minutes more or until eggs are cooked through, but still slightly moist. Do not stir constantly. Remove from heat. Serve immediately.
