Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 12 ounces baby potatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 4 cups Thinly sliced vegetables (such as mushrooms, bell peppers and/or zucchini (14 oz.))
  • 3 scallions Sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 1 teaspoon Minced fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)
  • 6 large Eggs (or 4 large eggs plus 4 egg whites), lightly beaten)
  • 2 cups Packed leafy greens (as baby spinach or baby kale (2 oz.))
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Method

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes; cover and cook, stirring several times, until they begin to soften, about 8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add 4 cups sliced vegetables and scallion whites; cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon herbs. Move the vegetable mixture to the perimeter of the pan.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 6 eggs and scallion greens to the center of the pan. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are softly scrambled, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir 2 cups leafy greens into the eggs. Remove from heat and stir to combine well. Stir in ½ teaspoon salt.
