A quick, easy, and nutritious egg white scramble packed with fresh vegetables, perfect for weight loss and a high-protein meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 6 fl oz)
  • ½ cup finely diced bell peppers (red or yellow)
  • ½ cup grated or finely chopped zucchini
  • 1 cup fresh chopped spinach (or kale)
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion (yellow or red)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the veggies: Wash and finely chop the bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and onion. Mince the garlic.
  2. Beat the egg whites lightly in a mixing bowl until just frothy but not stiff.
  3. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add bell peppers and zucchini; cook until they start to soften and release moisture. Then add spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking until spinach wilts.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Pour beaten egg whites evenly over the sautéed veggies. Let sit without stirring for about 30 seconds until edges start to set.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites over the veggies with a spatula, creating soft curds. Continue cooking until no visible liquid remains but eggs stay soft and tender.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir in fresh herbs.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Cook egg whites gently on medium-low heat to keep them tender and fluffy. Avoid overbeating egg whites to prevent dryness. Add delicate veggies like spinach last to preserve color and texture. Season at the end to avoid watery scramble. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
