Starting your day off right is super important. A good breakfast can give you the energy you need to tackle anything. Today, I want to share a recipe that’s not only delicious but also packed with good stuff to get you going. It’s a hearty scramble that feels like a warm hug on a plate.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color works!)
- 1 cup cooked and diced sweet potatoes (you can roast these ahead of time)
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind is fine)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, salsa, cilantro, a squeeze of lime
Step By Step Making
- First, grab a non-stick skillet. Put it on medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it get warm.
- Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes. You want them to get a little soft and smell good.
- Now, add the diced sweet potatoes and the rinsed black beans to the skillet. Stir everything together. Cook for another 5 minutes, just to warm them through.
- While those are warming up, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together until the yolks and whites are mixed well.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and beans in the skillet. Let it cook for a minute without stirring. This helps it start to set.
- Gently start to push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, letting the uncooked egg flow underneath. Keep doing this until the eggs are mostly cooked but still a little shiny. This makes for a creamy scramble.
- Once the scramble is cooked to your liking, take it off the heat.
- Serve it up right away. You can add your favorite toppings like avocado slices for healthy fats, a spoonful of salsa for a kick, some fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice. It’s also great to pair with a whole wheat toast. If you’re looking for other easy recipes, you might like our Easy Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta for dinner!
