Scrambled Eggs Get A Flavorful (And Colorful) Makeover With These Fiber-Boosting Veggies

Scrambled eggs are a simple protein-packed breakfast that you can elevate with your favorite ingredients. Though "protein maxxing" is a current trend, there are other nutrients to keep in mind for maintaining a balanced diet best suited to your personal needs. One such nutrient is fiber. While there are a variety of recipes to meet your daily fiber goals, preparing a batch of scrambled eggs with bell peppers and onions makes for a flavorful and fiber-filled breakfast.

By the numbers, one cup of onion has about three grams of fiber, while a cup of bell peppers contains the same amount. Chopping up onions and bell peppers to mix into your scrambled eggs will provide a delicious boost of nutritional value and plenty of vibrant color as well. As far as which bell pepper color has the most nutrients, red is your best bet. Plus, the contrast of the red pepper against the yellow of your scrambled eggs makes a dish that looks as good as it tastes.

For the most flavorful scrambled eggs, start by cutting and sauteeing the veggies before incorporating the beaten eggs into your pan. Choose your favorite type of onion and color of bell pepper for a meal that's fully customized to your taste preferences.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to upgrade this fiber-rich dish for an even more delicious and nutritious offering. You can add other ingredients such as flaxseed meal or avocado to your scrambled eggs to up the fiber content even further. For more protein, include beans, cottage cheese, or nutritional yeast.

Complement the flavors of the onions and bell peppers in your scrambled eggs by tossing in a blend of taco seasoning or top it with a splash of hot sauce on top for a tasty finishing touch. Turn your scrambled eggs into the filling for a hearty breakfast burrito to make the most of your morning.

If you're cooking for a group, it's often helpful to transform single-serving scrambled eggs into a bountiful batched frittata or quiche. Adding extra onions and bell peppers to a loaded vegetarian quiche recipe make it a savory breakfast-style pie. However you choose to incorporate the fiber-filled ingredients of onions and bell peppers, your scrambled eggs will be better than ever.
