Recipe card for The Simple and Delicious Cabbage & Carrot Scramble: A Budget-Friendly Breakfast (or Anytime!) Treat.
Course: Breakfast

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • Cabbage shredded, amount to your preference
  • Carrot shredded, 1 is typical but adjust to your taste
  • Eggs 2-3 are common, but use what you prefer
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Optional additions: Chopped green onion, vegetable oil, butter, or your favorite herbs and spices

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Shred the vegetables: Prepare your base! Shred the cabbage and carrot using your preferred method. A grater, mandoline slicer, or even a food processor with the shredding attachment will all work perfectly.
  2. Sauté the vegetables (optional): This step adds a touch of softness to the vegetables. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil or butter (if using). Sauté the shredded vegetables for a few minutes, until slightly softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Skip this step if you prefer a more scrambled egg texture.
  3. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together your eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. This incorporates air into the eggs, making them light and fluffy when cooked.
  4. Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the vegetables (or directly into the pan if you skipped sauteing). Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a minute or two, allowing them to start setting at the edges.
  5. Scramble the eggs: Using a spatula, gently break up the cooked egg and continue scrambling it until cooked through to your desired doneness.
  6. Serve: Serve your hot and delicious cabbage and carrot scramble immediately. Enjoy it on its own, with a slice of toast for dipping, or wrapped in a warm tortilla for a grab-and-go breakfast.
