Ingredients
Scale
Gather these simple, fresh ingredients to create a delicious meal that’s ready in no time:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini work great)
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re out of mushrooms or zucchini, feel free to swap them with bell peppers or spinach—just like my dad did whenever the pantry was running low. The beauty of this scramble is its flexibility.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced zucchini and sliced mushrooms, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden.
- While the veggies cook, whisk the eggs in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables, gently stirring to combine.
- Cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If using, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the scramble and mix it in.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Remember, cooking is about intuition and improvisation. If you feel like throwing in a handful of your favorite cheese, go for it! It’s all part of the journey.
