    As we continue to focus on healthy low-carb meals for January, I have to share one of my favorite veggie breakfasts! Now making scrambled eggs are a no-brainer but we often forget that healthy vegetables are awesome with scrambled eggs.  My favorite Healthy Veggie Egg Scramble is a perfect combo of veggies and eggs providing a great amount of protein!v This is also a great way to get added veggies to your meal.  As a huge breakfast fan, this is a great combo of veggies! I use a bevy of my favorite veggies, feel free to adjust any veggies to your favorites!

    I also call this veggie scramble, my clean out the fridge meal! This egg scramble can use veggies in the fridge that need to be cooked. Those veggies can go into making this Healthy Veggie Egg Scramble! My base vegetables are usually broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers because I love them! Feel free to change-up the veggies to your favorites or what is in the fridge!

    Tips on making the best Healthy Veggie Egg Scramble:

    • Using the whole egg is the norm as I am looking for a hearty meal with protein and veggies.
    • Cut cholesterol by using half egg whites and whole eggs.
    • Adjust vegetables to what is in the fridge or your favorites.
    • Make a large quantity. Split into 3 containers to reheat during the week for a quick and healthy breakfast.
    • When making the scramble, let the eggs settle for a minute. Then push the eggs forward and gently fold them over.
    • Once eggs are just about done, transfer to a plate and they continue to cook a bit.

    Instructions

    • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat spray with butter flavored cooking spray. Add to skillet ½ cup chopped fresh broccoli florets, ½ cup diced fresh mushrooms, ½ cup diced red pepper, and ½ cup diced orange pepper . Saute about 5 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften. Add 1 cup fresh spinach and cook another 2 minutes to wilt the spinach.
    • While the veggies are sauteing, in a medium sizd mixing bowl add 6 large eggs , ¼ cup 1% milk , ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon salt eggs.  Whisk to blend the eggs. (The longer the eggs are whisked, the fluffier they are when cooked.)
    • Add the egg mixture to the veggies. Let cook about 1 minute until eggs begin to set. Push the eggs towards the center of the pan and gently fold over. Tilt pan slightly to allow the liquids to cook through.  Continue to do this until the eggs are just about set.  If adding cheese, do so now. Remove from heat and let rest one minute.  Serve and enjoy
