Avocado and Vegetable Stir Fry – Slim Kitchen

This healthy veggie scrambled eggs is packed with all the nutrient-dense ingredients like bell peppers, tomatoes, and whole avocados! Make this Vegan Scrambled Eggs for a hearty lunch or breakfast that tastes better than boring scrambled eggs.

We all have those mornings: we wake up absolutely hungry. You know, when your stomach growls, it wakes you up from a deep sleep. On those mornings, I find that the best solution for me is something rich in protein and healthy fats.

Usually, when I eat something higher in carbohydrates (like cereal or oatmeal), I need to have a snack within an hour. But when I eat things like eggs and avocado, I feel full longer.

On days when I need something hearty for breakfast, this quick veggie scrambled eggs is a perfect (and delicious) option! You can use any vegetables you have on hand or that might go to waste quickly.

Just make sure to add tomatoes and avocado – they really make everything pop!

Key ingredients and easily interchangeable

have ton You can do this scramble in different ways. So, I highly recommend you have some mixing fun!

Here are the ingredients I used in this recipe:

• olive oil: Sauté the vegetables in your favorite oil and add them to the eggs. Olive oil has a nice neutral flavor and goes well with eggs, but you can use avocado oil instead.
• broccoli: You can use fresh or frozen broccoli for your stir-fry, and frozen broccoli can save some time. Feel free to substitute cauliflower or another vegetable of your choice. This recipe is very flexible.
• Red bell pepper: Cut the peppers into bite-size pieces or thinly slice them. You can use any color bell pepper, too!
• onion: You only need 1/2 cup, so I like to use frozen diced onions. It saves me so much time in food prep (and I only use what I need). Fresh onions are also delicious, in any color. Or switch to green onions.
• egg: I used eight whole eggs for this vegetable stir-fry. If you want to eat something lower in cholesterol, use four eggs and four egg whites.
• tomato: Another way to save time is to use a can of diced tomatoes (no salt added), but I prefer the fresh taste and texture. In the winter, I usually use cherry tomatoes, which tend to be sweeter.
• avocado: Make sure to use the whole avocado! You can also spoon some guacamole on top.

Side dish ideas

Honestly, this is such a hearty recipe that you probably won’t need to serve anything with it at all. But if I do, I’ll pair it with something lighter, like a fruity blueberry banana smoothie.

Another natural pairing is toasted whole wheat bread, English muffins, bagel pancakes, or low-carb wraps.

Eggs are the only source of protein in this dish, so if you want some meat, serve it with a few slices of turkey bacon or some crumbled sausage. Don’t forget to grab a hot cup of coffee – and you’re good to go!

If you’re planning on having breakfast, consider making some delicious red pepper feta muffins or some baked potatoes.

Scrambled Eggs Recipe Tips and Ideas

Follow these tips to ensure this dish turns out delicious every time.

• Stir the eggs before adding them to the skillet. This will give them a lighter flavor and cook more evenly.
• As you scramble the eggs, stir frequently in the skillet. If you let them sit for too long, they may overcook and become too crispy.
• Finally top with your favorite spices and fresh herbs. I like to add some fresh cilantro and salsa. Others like to top it with “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning!
• Add some cheese! If you like cheesy eggs, consider adding some shredded cheddar, feta, or goat cheese.
• Switch up the veggies and make a more traditional Mexican scrambled eggs with tomatoes, jalapeños, and onions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vegetable Stir-Fry

Here are some questions that readers often ask me…

How to store leftover vegetable scrambled eggs?

This recipe is so easy to make, there’s no point in storing leftovers. In addition, avocados do not store well after being peeled and diced.

If you’re storing your stir-fry without avocado, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Then, reheat it on the stove when you’re ready to eat it again.

Which vegetables taste best with eggs?

Eggs don’t always have a lot of flavor on their own, so adding any type of veggies will taste delicious.

Some of my favorite vegetables to use are:

• sweet potato
• asparagus
• zucchini
• spinach
• mushroom

No matter which vegetables you choose to add to your vegetarian scrambled eggs, be sure to chop them into small pieces! This will help them cook faster and make the bowl easier to eat.

Is this scrambled eggs keto-friendly?

OK! If you follow this recipe exactly, it is very low in carbs and suitable for a ketogenic diet. If you are counting your macros, I would consider using fewer tomatoes to reduce the carb count.

Is this vegetable stir-fry recipe Whole30 compliant?

Yes, this recipe is Whole30 compliant!

Can I add cheese to scrambled eggs?

I do this sometimes. Grab a handful of your favorite shredded cheese (I prefer cheddar or pepper jack) and pop it on top after you scramble the eggs to melt the cheese.
