🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness—for me, it's about 5-7 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk. But you do you!
  7. 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.
  8. 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
