A light, nourishing, and fluffy egg white scramble with fresh veggies, perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 7 oz or 198g)
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach, packed
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 green onion stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives, finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies: Dice the red bell pepper into small, even pieces (about ½ cup). Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice green onions thinly, and mince the garlic clove. Rinse and pat dry the baby spinach leaves.
  2. Whisk the egg whites: Crack 6 large eggs and separate the whites into a mixing bowl (about 7 oz or 198g). Whisk briskly until slightly frothy and pale, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Heat the pan: Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Let it warm for about 30 seconds until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Sauté the veggies: Add the minced garlic and diced bell peppers first. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften slightly. Toss in the spinach and cherry tomatoes next, cooking just until spinach wilts and tomatoes warm through—about 1-2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook the egg whites: Pour the whisked egg whites evenly over the sautéed veggies. Let it sit undisturbed for 20 seconds until the edges start to set.
  6. Gently fold: Using your silicone spatula, carefully fold the eggs from the edges toward the center, lifting and folding rather than stirring vigorously. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, folding occasionally, until eggs are cooked through but still moist.
  7. Final seasoning and herbs: Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs if using, and give one gentle fold to combine.
  8. Serve immediately: Slide the scramble onto a warm plate. Enjoy with whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.

Notes

Avoid overcooking to prevent rubbery egg whites. Use gentle folding instead of stirring to keep eggs fluffy. Pre-sauté veggies to avoid watery eggs. Season veggies while cooking and adjust seasoning at the end. Use medium heat for best results.
