TIPS
- Even Pieces: Cut vegetables into even sizes for uniform cooking.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heating the skillet before adding vegetables can reduce cooking time and improve caramelization.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Spread vegetables in a single layer to ensure they roast rather than steam.
- Check Egg Doneness: Keep an eye on the eggs in the last few minutes of cooking to get your preferred level of doneness.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavour of the eggs.
- Customization: Feel free to add different vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for variation.
VARIATIONS
- Cheese Varieties: Swap Gruyere for cheddar, mozzarella, or your favourite melting cheese.
- Add Meat: Include cooked bacon or sausage for added protein and flavour.
- Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for those who prefer a spicier dish.
