Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup mushrooms
Aromatics and Vegetables:
- 1 small onion
- 2–3 cloves garlic
- Fresh parsley
Seasonings and Cooking Liquid:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (375°F) for 2 minutes until shimmering.
- Add 2 diced zucchinis and 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet. Sauté your vegetables for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden and become tender.
- Sprinkle 2-3 minced garlic cloves into the skillet. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ensuring your vegetables are evenly coated.
- Crack 4 large eggs into a separate mixing bowl. Whisk them vigorously for 30 seconds until the whites and yolks are completely combined.
- Gently pour your whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Use a spatula to softly fold the eggs into the vegetables.
- Cook your scramble for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, continuously stirring and folding until the eggs reach a soft, creamy consistency.
- Remove the skillet from heat when your eggs are just set but still slightly glossy. Garnish with 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for a bright finish.
Notes
- Add fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture, avoiding canned versions that can make the scramble watery.
- Chop zucchini and mushrooms into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and a consistent bite.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese or use nutritional yeast for a similar savory taste.
