Print Recipe

A quick, protein-packed breakfast scramble featuring egg whites and fresh vegetables, perfect for a healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (or 1 cup/240 ml)
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash and dice the red bell pepper, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice green onions, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the spinach if leaves are large.
  2. Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Warm until the oil shimmers but does not smoke.
  3. Add the garlic and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir frequently until the peppers soften slightly but still have some crunch.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes and green onions, cooking for another minute.
  5. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, maintaining vibrant green color.
  6. Pour the egg whites evenly over the vegetables. Let sit for about 15 seconds without stirring to form soft curds.
  7. Gently fold the eggs every 10 seconds with a silicone spatula, scraping from the edges to the center.
  8. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and smoked paprika over the eggs. Continue cooking until eggs are set but still moist and fluffy. Remove from heat promptly.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Cook vegetables separately before adding egg whites to preserve texture and prevent watery scramble. Use low to medium heat and remove from heat when eggs are still slightly moist to avoid rubbery texture. Season after eggs start to set to prevent watery eggs. Prep veggies the night before to save time.
