Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix the 3 medium eggs with egg substitute to equal 3 eggs.
- Combine the egg mixture with Parmesan cheese, garlic, dill, chives, parsley, and sun dried tomatoes.
- Place the prepared skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully pour in the egg mixture.

- Divide the eggs into four serving dishes.
- Place a lettuce leaf under each serving, if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried versions, but reduce the amount as they are more concentrated. For a flavor boost, substitute the sun-dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers or olives. These Savory Scramblers also work well with a sprinkle of your favorite cheese blend.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Savory Scramblers on a bed of fresh greens or alongside whole-grain toast for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with a light salad or a side of fruit for breakfast. For a heartier option, consider serving with Spaetzle, which can complement the flavors nicely. Garnish with extra herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for added presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the scramblers in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can also microwave them in short intervals, but be careful not to overcook, as eggs can become rubbery when reheated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use only egg substitute instead of whole eggs?
Yes, you can use egg substitute exclusively. Just ensure you measure the equivalent amount needed to replace the 3 eggs, usually around 3/4 cup. The texture may differ slightly, but the flavor will still be delightful.
What can I substitute for Parmesan cheese?
If you don’t have Parmesan cheese, you can use Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor, or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option. Both alternatives will add a unique twist to your Savory Scramblers.
How can I make this recipe vegetarian-friendly?
This recipe is already vegetarian-friendly, as it contains no meat. You can enhance its vegetarian appeal by adding vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the egg mixture for added nutrients and flavor.
