- 3 large eggs
- A handful of carrots, corn kernels, and peas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 stalks of green onions, chopped
Instructions:

Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by steaming the carrots, corn, and peas for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp. This step enhances their natural flavors and makes them perfect for mixing into your eggs.

Beat the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. Season with a pinch of salt and the black pepper to taste.

Combine Ingredients: Add the steamed vegetables and chopped green onions to the beaten eggs. Stir to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Scramble: Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, allowing them to form soft curds. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked and have a fluffy texture.

Taste and Serve: Taste the scrambled eggs and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Once cooked to your liking, transfer to a serving plate.
