- Prepare veggies: Dice the bell pepper and onion. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Sauté the veggies until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add spinach: Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Add a splash of milk for creamier eggs, if desired.
- Cook eggs: Wipe out the skillet and add a little more oil. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed until it starts to set around the edges. Stir gently and cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in places. Add the cooked veggies and cheese to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Easy Veggie Scrambled Eggs on Toast for Quick Breakfast FAQs
You can prepare the veggies and scramble the eggs up to 2 days ahead. Store separately in the fridge and reheat before serving.
Overcooking is the most common reason for dry scrambled eggs. Turn off the heat when the eggs are still slightly runny and let them sit for a minute or two to finish cooking from residual heat.
While you can cook eggs in the air fryer, the texture won't be the same as traditional scrambled eggs. For the best results, stick to the stovetop method.
Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring halfway through.
While you can use frozen veggies, they'll release more moisture as they cook, which can make your scrambled eggs watery. Fresh veggies are recommended for the best results.
