🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First thing's first: Prep your veggies! Finely chop about a cup of summer veggies—think cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, and maybe some bell peppers. Whatever looks good at the farmer's market!
- Next, grab a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil or butter (or both, because why not?). Let that heat up for a minute or so.
- Once the oil shimmers, toss in your chopped veggies. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they're tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don't forget a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick if you like!
- Now for the star of the show: the eggs! Crack 2-4 eggs (depending on how hungry you are!) directly into the skillet with the veggies. Season with more salt and pepper.
- Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg whites towards the center of the pan as they cook, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. This helps create a nice, even cook.
- Cook the eggs to your desired doneness—for me, it's about 5-7 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk. But you do you!
- Once your eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Sprinkle with some fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill if you have any handy.
- Serve them immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast (or brunch, or even dinner)! Don't forget a slice of toast; it's the perfect partner in crime for these sautéed eggs!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables while sautéing.
- Feel free to use any combination of summer vegetables you like.
- Don't overcook the eggs, or they will become rubbery. Aim for slightly runny yolks for the best texture and flavor
