Ingredients You Need to make Veggie Green Scrambled Eggs

Eggs: opt for organic, free-range eggs, if possible. Egg sizes can vary based on region - if you are in the US/Canada/Australia use large eggs for this recipe. If you are based in Europe, you can use either medium or large eggs. Eggs are a ‘complete’ source of protein and a source of nutrients including vitamin B12, D and antioxidants.
Spinach: half of the spinach is used in the base (blended with the eggs to give a green eggs mixture) and the other half is used when cooking with the peppers as part of the vegetables being cooked.
Red onions: finely chopped, for flavor.
Bell Peppers: finely chopped, for flavor. You can either use red bell peppers or a mixture of colors. Each bell pepper has a slightly different flavor profile. Red pepper has a sweeter and citrusy taste compared with green peppers, which are slightly bitter, (orange and yellow peppers are in between).
Grated cheddar cheese: you can use either mild or mature cheddar cheese for this recipe, to enhance the flavor of these eggs.
Seasoning: salt and finely ground black pepper are used to season this dish
Olive oil: I like to use extra virgin olive oil (for additional benefits including antioxidant properties). You can also use other oils including avocado oil or butter/ghee if preferred.
Coriander (or cilantro): this is optional, but recommended to add a refreshing taste to these eggs

Equipment

You will need a small stick blender or food processor to blend the spinach and eggs – you can use a variety of food processors including nutribullet, vitamix, blentec.
I recommend using a non-stick medium/large pan to help evenly cook the vegetables and eggs without any of the ingredients sticking to the surface of the pan.
I also recommend using a silicone spatula to help you mix the vegetables and also lift, fold and mix the eggs to cook and stir them.
You will also need a grater to grate the cheese (if using).

How to Make Veg Green Scrambled Eggs (detailed step-by-step)

Gently cook onions in pan. Heat oil in pan on medium heat for 30 seconds, add onions and roast for another 30 seconds.
Add bell peppers and roast. Add bell peppers and roast for another 3-4 minutes, stirring intermittently to evenly cook them. You will notice a roasted pepper aroma.
Prepare the eggs mixture while the peppers are roasting. Crack eggs into the stick blender and add spinach
Blitz for 1-2 minutes, or until all ingredients are combined, giving you a light green liquid.

Add spinach to the pan. Add a handful of spinach once the peppers and onions are slightly soft and roasted. Stir and cook for another minute or until spinach is soft and wilted. Add salt and pepper.
Pour out egg mixture and cook until desired consistency (image 6-8). Using a silicone spatula, continuously stir the eggs and cook for 7-8 minutes or until desired consistency. You will notice the eggs start to thicken as they cook.
Tips: Use the spatula to gently lift and fold the eggs from the sides and base of the pan to stir and evenly cook the eggs. Once cooked to desired consistency, sprinkle cheese and fresh coriander and mix once more to allow the cheese to melt within the eggs. Remove pan from heat and serve with pico de gallo salsa or blender salsa and guacamole!

Tips to Make the Perfect Veggie Green Breakfast Scramble

Use the best equipment for optimum results – use medium or large non-stick pan and silicone spatula to evenly stir and cook the vegetables and eggs. Also use an appropriate food processor/stick blender to help fully incorporate and blitz the spinach and eggs.
Blitz the eggs and spinach before adding to the pan – it is important to blitz the eggs and spinach enough so they are fully mixed to create the most creamy, fluffy and moist green coloured scrambled eggs.
Use low-medium heat when cooking the eggs – this helps keep the eggs moist and creamy and prevents them from sticking to the pan (or becoming too dry and rubbery)
Stir continuously – use a silicone spatula to stir the eggs, by gently lifting the eggs from the sides of the pan and folding them over, this helps evenly cook the eggs to the perfect consistency whilst also preventing any part of the eggs from sticking to the pan or drying out.
Variations – you can mix up the cheese used – we love the combination of cheddar and spinach, for a different taste try some mozzarella instead of cheddar!

Storage Tips

Fridge: If you have leftovers or wish to make in advance, transfer eggs into an airtight container and refrigerate (once cooled to room temperature) for up to 1 day.
To reheat: place eggs in a pan and cover and cook on low heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring intermittently. Alternatively, heat these eggs in a microwave-safe dish or bowl for at least 2 minutes (more depending on quantity) or until eggs are steaming. When reheating the eggs, I recommend covering them with a microwave-safe lid to prevent them from drying out.
