# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes but tastes like something from a restaurant brunch
  • The vegetables keep it light while the eggs make it feel substantial enough to power you through the morning
02 -
  • Overcooked eggs become rubbery and dry, so remove them from the heat while they still look slightly underdone
  • Pre-cut all your vegetables before you start cooking because the egg step moves quickly once it begins
03 -
  • Use a silicone spatula to scrape the edges of the pan without damaging the nonstick coating
  • Grate some lemon zest over the finished dish for brightness that cuts through the richness
