The Veggie-packed 3-egg scramble with tomato sauce is a nutritious and delicious meal that's perfect for breakfast or a quick lunch. This recipe combines the protein power of eggs with the goodness of mixed vegetables, all brought together with a hint of savory tomato sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Take the mixed frozen vegetables out of the freezer and allow them to partially thaw while you prepare the other ingredients. This makes them cook faster and more evenly.
- Place a medium non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salted butter to the skillet. Let the butter melt completely, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the butter is melted and starting to bubble, add the 1 cup of mixed frozen vegetables to the skillet.
- Stir occasionally and cook the vegetables until they are tender and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. If they begin to brown, reduce the heat slightly.
- While the vegetables are cooking, crack the 3 eggs into a bowl.
- Add 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the eggs.
- Beat the eggs with a whisk or fork until they're well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, ensure the heat is set to medium-low.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables in the skillet. Allow the edges to set slightly, about 10-15 seconds.
- Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs and vegetables together, creating soft curds.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over the scramble.
- Gently fold the tomato sauce into the eggs and vegetables until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the veggie-packed scramble to plates.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by toast, a side salad, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables instead of frozen if you prefer, just make sure to adjust cooking times accordingly.
- For an extra flavor boost, add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives.
- Feel free to add other protein sources such as ham, bacon, or tofu for a heartier meal.
- If you like your eggs a bit firmer, cook them a little longer to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve with a side of toast or over a bed of greens for a complete meal.
This Veggie-packed 3-egg scramble with tomato sauce is a quick and easy way to enjoy a wholesome meal packed with protein and vegetables. It's versatile, delicious, and can be customized with your favorite veggies and seasonings.
