The minute the weather starts warming up and fresh produce is a thing, my fridge fills up fast with veggies. Zucchini, mushrooms, onions, herbs — you name it, if it’s summer, I likely have some in my fridge.

I generally buy things I have a plan for, but there’s always odds and ends that don’t get used up. These odds and ends get used in stocks, soups, sometimes salads, but often, they go in eggs to make a healthy, filling breakfast on those busy days when you don’t know if you’ll have time to stop.

And that’s how recipes like this are born. I add what I have and take notes on what works and what doesn’t (side note — broccoli doesn’t always work with eggs.)

In this case, I had mushrooms, zucchini, a shallot, and a tiny pint of tomatoes that somehow didn’t get used up — those are always the first to go in my house. Some fresh herbs and an all-purpose seasoning blend bring it all together, and the best part is that it takes only a few minutes to make breakfast in a flash.
