Oh, egg scrambles, how I love you so. Delicious vegetables. Lots of protein. Not lots of calories. It’s a perfect way to start my day (and a perfect way to use up old vegetables before I hit the market on the weekends).
The recipe is simple: chop whatever vegetables you like, sautee them, pour eggs over veggies, cook eggs, eat. I usually have tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchinis, and onions on hand, but it works well with spinach, leeks, and celery too.

Nutrition information
This probably goes without saying, but nutrition information is going to vary wildly between egg scrambles, especially if you’re like me and tend to eye ingredients and use whatever vegetables are in your fridge. The recipe above could easily serve 3 or 4 people, but I like a hearty breakfast before a long hard day of relaxing at home.
