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!

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 eggs forward and gently fold over.
- Once eggs are just about done, transfer to plate and they continue to cook one more minute.

Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat spray the non-stick cooking spray. Add to skillet broccoli, mushrooms, red pepper, and orange pepper. Saute about 5 minutes until the veggies begin are soft. Add spinach and cook another 2 minutes to wilt the spinach.
- While the veggies are sauteing, in a medium mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt. Whisk to completely 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
Notes
- You can use egg whites in lieu of some of the egg for 1 egg use 2 eggs whites.
- If making for meal prep, separate into 3 food storage containers and either microwave to heat or reheat in the oven at 350 for about 5 minutes in an oven-safe bowl.

Thanks for the recipe. I am always looking for a way to get more veggies in. I think I will take Jason’s advice on adding the turmeric as well.

Awesome! The turmeric will add both antioxidants and great flavor. I would love to hear how the recipe went for you.
Lovely recipe and beautiful presentation of the dish! Have you ever thought of adding some turmeric into that egg scramble? Turmeric is a natural anti-inflamatory and works wonders as an antioxidant as well. It has a bit of a kick to it but if you like your eggs spicy like I do, then it only enhances the flavor 🙂
Jason, turmeric would be a great addition to these egg. I would also make a cup of green tea and add in turmeric to the tea, for extra antioxidants! I am glad you enjoy the recipe!
