- Scramble the eggs until they reach your desired texture, or form them into an omelet if you prefer.
- Layer your choice of protein next to the vegetables and grains, or for a heartier option, mix all the ingredients into the egg.
- Briefly heat everything in the skillet, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Plate your delicious creation and add any fresh herbs or toppings you like for that extra burst of flavor.
Notes
Experiment with spices like paprika or cumin for added flavor without extra calories. This dish works well as leftovers and can be reheated easily.
