# How-To:

01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
02 - Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
03 - Add red onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened.

08 - Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 20 minutes, making weekday mornings feel less rushed and more intentional.
  • The vegetables stay bright and slightly tender, not mushy or overcooked into submission.
  • You can swap what's in the pan based on what's actually in your fridge, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • Don't add the spinach too early or it'll turn dark and bitter. That last-minute addition keeps it bright and fresh tasting.
  • The biggest mistake is cooking the eggs on too high heat, which makes them tough. Patient, gentle heat is what creates those tender scrambles that feel luxurious.
03 -
  • Use a non-stick skillet if you have one, it makes the whole process smoother and requires less oil or butter.
  • Room temperature eggs mix more easily and cook more evenly than eggs straight from the fridge.
