Quick and healthy breakfast packed with veggies and cheddar cheese.
Veggie Skillet Eggs
Ingredients
6 medium or large eggs
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon oregano or basil
⅓ cup shredded cheese (1 ½ ounces)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped (about ⅔ cup)
1 clove garlic, chopped (or ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder)
2 cups fresh, canned or frozen mixed vegetables (green beans, zucchini, peas, corn, broccoli, mushrooms)
1 medium tomato, sliced
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.
- Beat eggs with pepper, oregano or basil, and cheese in a medium bowl.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion, garlic, and other vegetables and cook on medium (300 degrees F in an electric skillet) until soft.
- Pour egg mixture over vegetables. With knife or spatula, lift outer edges of eggs so egg mixture flows to the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until eggs are set, about 6 minutes. Top with tomato slices.
- Cut into 8 wedges; serve hot.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Try other seasonings such as thyme or dill.
- Try adding cilantro on top for more flavor.
- No eggs? You can make this with firm or extra-firm tofu instead. For step 5, mash 1 package (14 to 16 ounces) tofu in a medium bowl with 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric to add color and savory flavor. Stir tofu mixture into vegetables, spread mixture in skillet. Let mixture cook without stirring until heated through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover with skillet lid for the first 5 minutes.

Comments
This is a great recipe for using up fresh herbs and veggies! I added onion, tomatoes, spinach, garlic, dill, chives and parsley. I also topped with cheese and broiled in the oven for a few minutes - it was delicious. An easy, healthy meal that makes a great breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Wow, this is such a great recipe for a quick meal with vegetables from the garden and/or freezer. Last night's version included onion, ancho pepper, corn and zucchini. Very tasty, and makes nice leftovers for breakfast or lunch.
This is my "go to" favorite when i don't have time to cook! Our family loves it!
