A quick, healthy, and easy breakfast scramble made with fluffy egg whites and vibrant sautéed veggies, perfect for busy mornings or light brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 6 fl oz)
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or basil), finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: Wash and dice the bell peppers into small, even pieces (about ½ cup). Roughly chop the spinach, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic clove finely. This prep should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Whisk the egg whites: In a medium bowl, pour in 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 6 fl oz) and whisk briskly until slightly frothy and a bit airy, about 1-2 minutes. This step helps make the scramble fluffy.
  3. Heat the pan and sauté veggies: Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Toss in the diced bell peppers and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they just start to soften.
  4. Add spinach and tomatoes: Stir in the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts but still has color and texture. Season lightly with salt and pepper here.
  5. Pour in the egg whites: Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the whisked egg whites evenly over the veggies. Let them sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds to start setting at the edges.
  6. Scramble gently: Using a silicone spatula, gently fold and push the eggs from the edges to the center, forming soft curds. Continue folding every 15-20 seconds, cooking until egg whites are just set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes total. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
  7. Season and serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle sliced green onions and fresh herbs on top for brightness. Serve immediately while warm and fluffy.

Notes

Cook egg whites gently over medium-low heat to keep them tender and fluffy. Avoid overwhisking egg whites to prevent watery or tough texture. Use fresh veggies for best texture; if using frozen, drain excess moisture well. Season veggies while sautéing and adjust seasoning at the end. Use a silicone spatula for gentle folding. If eggs dry out, add a splash of water or olive oil. Prep veggies while pan heats to save time.
