Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 3 large eggs with 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl until smooth. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and onions are translucent.
  3. Step 3: Pour egg mixture over vegetables, stirring gently with a silicone spatula until softly set (about 3 minutes). Fold in 2 cups fresh spinach and cook for 1 more minute until spinach wilts. Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese, and serve immediately while warm.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Rainbow Veggie Scramble with Goat Cheese take to make?

Total time is about 15 minutes (5 min prep + 10 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.

How do I store leftover Rainbow Veggie Scramble with Goat Cheese?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Rainbow Veggie Scramble with Goat Cheese?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Rainbow Veggie Scramble with Goat Cheese for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Rainbow Veggie Scramble with Goat Cheese?

French breakfast like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
