- Transfer the scramble to a plate and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a fluffier scramble, whisk the egg with a splash of milk or cream before cooking.
- Make sure to sauté the vegetables until they are soft but still slightly crisp to retain their texture and flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the egg mixture from sticking and ensure an even cook.
- Feel free to add additional herbs like chives or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
- To make it a heartier meal, serve with a slice of wholegrain toast or alongside some avocado slices.
