Scrambled eggs and broccoli

Scrambled eggs and broccoli is a nutritious and delicious recipe that combines protein-rich eggs with the health benefits of broccoli. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavor-packed, healthy meal in minutes.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1 cup broccoli
160g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut into small florets if not already done.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
2. Cook the Broccoli:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the pan is hot, lightly coat it with cooking spray.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Sauté them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp. You can cover the pan with a lid for a minute to help steam the broccoli and cook it more evenly.
3. Add the Eggs:
- After the broccoli is cooked, push it to the side of the skillet.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side of the skillet.
- Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.
4. Scramble and Combine:
- Once the eggs start to set, use a spatula to gently stir and scramble them, gradually mixing the broccoli into the eggs.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully cooked and reach your desired level of doneness. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs and broccoli to a plate.
- Serve immediately.

Tips:

- 1. For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of salt and pepper or your favorite herbs and spices to the eggs before cooking.

- 2. Make sure to preheat your cooking pan properly and coat it with a short spray of cooking oil to prevent sticking.

- 3. Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.

- 4. If you prefer a softer texture for your broccoli, consider steaming it slightly before adding it to the pan with the eggs.

- 5. For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or a dollop of cream to the eggs before scrambling.

- 6. Don't overcook the eggs; remove them from heat while they are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.

Scrambled eggs and broccoli is a simple yet satisfying dish that provides a perfect balance of nutrients. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack, this recipe is sure to please. Enjoy the delightful combination of fluffy eggs and tender broccoli!
