Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, cherry tomatoes, or any preferred greens) chopped
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Frying pan or skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces and gather all ingredients ready on the countertop.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat until shimmering and fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped vegetables to the pan and sauté for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to develop a slight caramelization around the edges.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables in the pan, making sure to cover all the surface.
  6. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes, until they start setting around the edges and become slightly golden, while the center remains slightly runny.
  7. Gently fold the eggs from the edges towards the center with the spatula, encouraging a fluffy texture and revealing crispy bits around the edges.
  8. Continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes, until the eggs are fully set but still moist and tender.
  9. Remove from heat and let sit for a moment; then, transfer to a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional seasoning if desired.
