This California Scramble is a hearty breakfast recipe full of protein and fresh veggies. All you need is 20 minutes and the step-by-step instructions below to make this recipe!
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
- 1 poblano pepper diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- ½ cup chopped spinach
- 1 Roma tomato diced
- 1 avocado sliced
- ¼ cup microgreens
- Hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, then whisk together with the whole milk until smooth and uniform. Set aside.
- Add 1tbsp of the butter to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the poblano pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the egg mixture along with the cheese, spinach, and tomato. Cook for 5-6 minutes, scrambling the mixture as it cooks.
- After it’s done cooking, transfer to plates and garnish with avocado, microgreens, and hot sauce if desired.
Notes
- Leftovers keep in the fridge for 1-2 days, but this recipe does not freeze well.
- Feel free to sub in Colby jack or pepper jack cheese if desired.
- Use your favorite hot sauce! I like Chipotle Cholula.
- Use a bell pepper instead of a poblano for less spice, or a jalapeno for more spice!
