Spanish Breakfast Scramble is a hearty meal packed with flavor and health that can be enjoyed for any meal of the day. What gives this scramble Spanish influence is more substantial use of vegetables, a lighter sprinkling of cilantro, and commonly used spices like cumin and chili powder. This delightful combination gives the soul to the flavor of the dish.
There is nothing better than starting the day enjoying a healthy dish that bursts with flavor and excitement. Though, I will admit, not every meal I make falls into the category of exotic flavors because sometimes you just want a delicious chocolate banana smoothie or a creamy dairy-free bowl of overnight oats. But on those mornings when your taste buds are calling for something more, Spanish Breakfast Scramble is the recipe
I especially love the versatility of this dish. Mostly, I try to incorporate ingredients I already have in my refrigerator. The vibrant flavor comes through a combination of fragrant spices that permeate the dish during the cooking process.
If you are short on time and want something delicious and healthy in 20 minutes or fewer, try my Spanish breakfast Scramble. A delicious way to start your day!
