🥒 Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, diced
• 1½ cups mushrooms, sliced
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ small onion, finely diced
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or feta, optional

🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

2. Cook the Vegetables

Heat olive oil or butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to soften.

Add the diced zucchini and cook for another 4–5 minutes until tender but not mushy.

3. Add Garlic & Seasoning

Stir in the minced garlic and oregano. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

4. Add the Eggs

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables.

Let them sit for about 20–30 seconds, then gently stir and fold with a spatula. Continue cooking until the eggs are softly set.

5. Finish & Serve

Remove from the heat while the eggs are still slightly creamy—they’ll continue cooking from the residual heat.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional cheese.

Serve immediately. 🍳🥒🍄

💡 Pro Tips

• Don’t overcook the zucchini. A little texture makes the scramble much better.
• Cook mushrooms before adding the zucchini so they have time to release their moisture and brown slightly.
• Keep the heat moderate when adding the eggs for soft, fluffy curds.
• Feta adds a delicious salty Mediterranean-style flavor.
• For extra protein, add diced cooked chicken, turkey, or a spoonful of cottage cheese.
• For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or a little hot sauce.

❓ Quick Q&A

Can I make this without milk?
Yes. The milk can be omitted completely. The eggs will still cook nicely.

Can I use frozen zucchini?
Fresh zucchini is preferable because frozen zucchini releases more water, but frozen can work if thawed and squeezed very well first.

Can I add cheese?
Absolutely! Feta, cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan all work beautifully.

Is this good for meal prep?
Yes, although scrambled eggs are best fresh. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
