Note

  • If you want to make a cheesy veggie eggs scramble, add some shredded cheddar cheese or freshly grated parmesan cheese to the scrambled eggs just before serving.
  • If youโ€™re not a fan of dried dill, you can use the dried herb of your choice, such as Italian seasoning, thyme, rosemary, or oregano.ย 
  • Alternatively, add a teaspoon of minced fresh herbs to the vegetarian scrambled eggs, like rosemary, basil, parsley, or thyme.
  • Want to add some meat to your scrambled eggs with veggies? Opt for chorizo, leftover baked ham if making over the holidays, or cooked crispy bacon bits.ย 
  • For a vegan alternative, add cooked tofu.
  • If youโ€™d like to add a little heat, add a dash of Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce to the scrambled egg mixture before adding it to the skillet.
