Items Needed:
Measuring cups, measuring spoons, knife, cast-iron or nonstick skillet, bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces baby potatoes, thinly sliced
- 4 cups thinly sliced vegetables, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, and/or zucchini (14 ounces)

To make a skillet meal:
- Move the vegetable mixture to the perimeter of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add eggs and scallion greens to the center of the pan. Cook, stirring until the eggs are softly scrambled, about 2 minutes.
- Stir leafy greens into the eggs. Remove from heat and stir to combine well. Stir in salt.

- Stir leafy greens into the eggs until just combined. Turn off heat and set vegetables aside.
- Combine 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites in a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl and scramble.
- Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with spray oil. Even distribute the vegetable mixture into each cup and top with enough egg to fill the cup about 3/4 of the way full. bake for about 20 minutes or until the middle of each cup is puffed and slightly golden brown in color.
