    I love scrambled eggs in the morning! In an attempt to eat more vegetables, I have experimented with adding veggies to the eggs, and broccoli is definitely my favorite yet.

    With tender, finely chopped broccoli and delicious cheddar, these scrambled eggs are packed with delicious flavor, and will keep you full for hours.

    🥘 Ingredients

    This recipe requires eggs, cheese and broccoli. I also recommend adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, however this is optional.

    You will also need either cooking spray, oil or butter to cook the eggs. The exact amount required might vary based on which frying pan you use.

    💡 TIP! You can also add any other ingredients to the eggs. Try adding some diced crispy bacon, mushrooms or sauteed spinach.

    🔪 How to make broccoli scrambled eggs

    Heat up some butter or oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add broccoli cut into very small florets, and saute for a few minutes until softened.

    Crack the eggs into the pan. Break the yolks, and gently move the eggs around in folding movements until they are slightly cooked. Add grated cheddar cheese, and fold it into the eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Cook until the eggs have barely solidified and the cheese is melted.

    💭 Top tips

    Here's my very best advice on how to make the perfect scrambled eggs:

    • Crack the eggs right into a medium hot pan, and scramble them by moving them about. If you whisk the eggs together before pouring them into a pan, they will never be as creamy.
    • Use gentle movements to turn and fold the eggs. Harsh movements will result in crumbly scrambled eggs and isn't as nice.
    • Dry eggs are the worst! Cook them until they are just about done, then remove them from the pan.

    🥗 Serving suggestions

    Scrambled eggs are typically served for breakfast or brunch. It can be served as is, on toast, in a sandwich or as a side with other lunch or breakfast dishes such as bacon, salad, or avocado toasts.

    Broccoli scrambled eggs can also be enjoyed as a part of a cold buffet.

    🍲 Leftovers

    Leftover broccoli and cheese scrambled eggs can be stored in a fridge for up to 3 days. You can serve the leftovers cold, or reheat them and serve them warm.

    Scrambled eggs can also be frozen! Keep in mind that they do tend to dry out slightly after thawing, so I only recommend freezing slightly undercooked or barely cooked eggs.
