When it comes to the most repeated recipes in our house, scrambled eggs with cheese and vegetables are probably at the top of the list.  It's a rare day that we don't have a cooked breakfast, and more often than not that involves eggs.

I like to try and sneak in my first serve of vegetables for the day with breakfast, and adding them to my eggs is the easiest way.  My first choice is always red capsicum / bell pepper and mushrooms, with a little onion for extra flavour. 

These veggies combined with cheese reminds me of a bit of pizza. And no one is complaining about pizza for breakfast!!

🥘 INGREDIENTS

I bet most of you will already have all the ingredients to whip these eggs up right now!  Here's what you need (full measurements listed in the printable recipe card below...

  • Eggs
  • Cheese - I love to use cheddar here but monterey jack or even feta would work well too!
  • Milk
  • Ghee - or you could use butter instead.
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion, Mushrooms and Red Capsicum / Bell Pepper - or use your own favourite mix of veggies.
  • Tabasco Sauce - feel free to omit if spicy isn't your thing.

This recipe lends itself well to variations, so feel free to experiment by adding different veggies to the mix, or even some pepperoni or ham.  You can also simply omit cheese to make these eggs Whole30 or Paleo compliant.

🍳 TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Scrambled eggs are so very easy to get so very wrong.  Cook them too high or for too long, and you'll wind up with a rubbery mess to the point of being inedible. 

Whisk them insufficiently, and the white and the yolk don't fully blend together, leaving you with uneven eggs.  And whisk your eggs too early before you pop them in the pan and you'll lose the fluffiness.

But never fear - with these simple tips you'll nail your scrambled eggs every time.

  1. Add a dash of milk - For years I've tried making scrambled eggs in all different ways, following all the expert tips, but they just are never as good without a dash of milk.  
  2. Whisk well –  I recommend using a blender on LOW for 3-4 seconds until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.  If you have a blender with a cup attachment, use that.  It’s much easier to clean than the jug attachment!  But if you don’t have a blender, just be sure to whisk well in a bowl.  Also - whisk right before putting them in the frypan for super fluffy scrambled eggs.
  3. Cooking fat – Cook in ghee or butter.  They add moisture during cooking to keep the eggs silky.
  4. Cook LOW and SLOW. Pop your frypan on the lowest temperature and stir your eggs until small curds form.  You’ll be tempted to turn up the heat but DON’T!  When the eggs look silky and also slightly runny and underdone, then remove the pan from the heat. The heat of the pan will continue to cook the eggs until they are done.
