2 Tbsp. liquid (i.e. milk, rice beverage, or water)
1⁄4 cup veggies of your choice
1 tsp. olive oil (1 tsp. more for an omelet*)
2 Tbsp. onion, diced (optional)
Dash of salt & pepper
Directions:
1. Break eggs into a bowl, add liquid and whisk eggs. Set aside.
2. In a small frying pan add 1 tsp. oil and when it’s at a medium heat add the onions.
3. Sauté onions for a couple minutes, until they are translucent and soft.
4. Add other veggies and sauté for another 5 minutes or until the veggies are cooked how you like them.
5. If making a scramble, pour the egg mix into the pan with the veggies and gently stir until the eggs are done
