Chestnut Free Whole30 Veggie Egg Scramble
Colorful, nourishing, and ready in minutes, this veggie-packed scramble is the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full. Ghee brings a rich, buttery depth to the pan without any dairy, while smoked paprika gives the eggs a subtle warmth that makes every bite feel a little more special. Red bell pepper and zucchini soften into golden, tender pieces that add both sweetness and body, and a quick handful of baby spinach wilts right in for a boost of greens you barely have to think about. The low-and-slow scramble technique — gentle strokes, reduced heat, pulled from the pan while still glossy — is what separates a silky, custardy result from rubbery eggs. For anyone navigating tree nut restrictions, this recipe is naturally worry-free: every ingredient is straightforward and easy to source without scanning labels for hidden culprits. Fresh chives on top are optional but highly recommended for a little pop of color and mild onion flavor. It's a clean, satisfying plate that works just as well for a lazy weekend brunch as it does for a fast weekday morning.
