A light, protein-packed breakfast scramble featuring fluffy egg whites and vibrant sautéed vegetables. Quick to prepare, customizable, and perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 3/4 cup or 180 ml)
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional, parsley or chives, chopped)
  • 1/4 cup low-fat cheese (optional, shredded, such as feta or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Dice the bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the mushrooms, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the spinach. Set aside.
  2. Crack 6 large eggs and separate the whites into a medium bowl (or use 180 ml carton egg whites). Whisk until slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  3. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook another 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and spinach, stir gently until spinach just wilts (about 1 minute).
  5. Pour whisked egg whites evenly over the veggies in the skillet. Let set for about 30 seconds without stirring.
  6. Using a spatula, gently push the edges toward the center, letting uncooked egg flow to the sides. Repeat until eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the scramble. Add fresh herbs if desired. If using cheese, sprinkle on top and cover for 1 minute to melt.
  8. Slide scramble onto plates, garnish with extra herbs or tomato halves if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best texture, use fresh egg whites and avoid overcooking. Pat veggies dry before cooking to prevent watery eggs. Add salt at the end to keep scramble fluffy. Customize with any veggies or herbs you have on hand. Cheese is optional for a dairy-free version. Scramble can be baked for a frittata-style breakfast or microwaved for meal prep.
