Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 1 cup Egg whites
- 2 Whole eggs
Vegetables
- 1 Small white onion, chopped
- 1 Whole bell pepper, chopped
Seasonings & Oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- Olive oil spray (or olive oil as needed, about 1 tsp)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet on the stovetop and heat it until it is smoking hot to ensure a nice sear on the vegetables.
- Add oil: Spray the skillet lightly with olive oil spray or add about a teaspoon of olive oil, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the hot skillet. Let them cook without stirring for a few minutes to develop a delicious char and caramelization.
- Season the veggies: Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the vegetables to enhance their flavors.
- Stir and continue cooking: Stir the vegetables after a few minutes and allow them to cook for another couple of minutes, ensuring they stay slightly crunchy and not overcooked.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the 2 whole eggs and 1 cup of egg whites until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add eggs to the skillet: Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked vegetables in the skillet and stir frequently to scramble evenly.
- Finish cooking and serve: Cook the scramble to your preferred consistency, then remove from heat. Serve immediately or store for meal prep. Optional: add salsa or Tapatio for extra flavor.
Notes
- Using olive oil spray helps control calorie intake; adjust if using measured oil.
- Vegetables can be substituted or added to based on preference (e.g., tomatoes, spinach).
- This scramble can be made ahead for meal prep and reheated.
- Adding salsa or hot sauce like Tapatio adds extra flavor without significant calories.
- To keep veggies crunchy, avoid overcooking before adding eggs.
