Easy Breakfast Egg Scramble
Have you heard the saying “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”? Well, up until recently I never ate breakfast. My hubby and kids are HUGE breakfast lovers, me…not so much!
I’m a “lunch and dinner, especially dessert” type of gal! Breakfast never really did anything for me.
However, now that we have incorporated egg scrambles into rotation, I gladly add my plate to the lineup and have thoroughly been enjoying all the variety!
Not only do these scrambles really stick with you, but you can change them up each and every time, adding in what you have on hand.
Our go to version includes egg, spinach, Feta cheese or mozzarella, sometimes garlic, and even some fun seasonings!
This week, I went a bit crazy with the on-sale produce, so we had a lot of extras to use up. Some mushrooms, red peppers, green peppers, onions, and more got added in!
If you’re a meat lover, add in some bacon, cooked sausage, chorizo, ham, or meat of your choosing!
If you like things spicy, sprinkle on some Cajun seasoning or hot sauce and kick up the heat!
Whether you enjoy this Breakfast Egg Scramble in the morning…or make it for a quick and easy lunch/dinner option, have some fun with it and make it your own! I’d love to hear what favorites you add in too!

Tips for making the BEST Breakfast Egg Scramble
*Use a non-stick skillet. I love my stainless pan set and cast iron, but when it comes to eggs I always go with a non-stick pan. They are less likely to stick to the bottom and always cook evenly and quickly.
*Silicone Spatulas make cooking eggs SO much easier! I swear by it! Scrapes up all the egg mixture evenly, every time!
*Cook low and slow. If you put the heat on high, most likely the eggs will burn, stick, and be a mess. Keep the heat to low and you’ll have the perfect breakfast!
*To store, keep the leftover scramble in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
