Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Prepare vegetables and tofu bacon

    Wash broccoli and cut into small florets. Thinly slice the Collective Harvest Farms bell pepper. Trim and slice zephyr squash into thin half-moons. Rinse and roughly chop or leave whole the baby spinach if leaves are large. Chop the house tofu bacon into small bite-sized pieces so it warms and crisps evenly.

  2. 2

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined and slightly frothy. Crumble the cojita cheese and measure out other ingredients.

Cook vegetables & tofu bacon

  1. 3

    Sauté broccoli and firmer vegetables

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. When shimmering, add broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli begins to soften and peppers start to blister.

  2. 4

    Add zephyr squash and tofu bacon

    Add the zephyr squash and chopped house tofu bacon to the skillet. Continue to cook 3–4 minutes, stirring, until squash is tender and tofu bacon is warmed and slightly crisped at the edges. If vegetables stick, add 1–2 tablespoons water and cover for 1 minute to steam.

  3. 5

    Wilt the spinach

    Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet to create an open space. Add butter to the open space and then add the spinach. Cook 30–60 seconds until wilted, folding into the warm vegetables.

Scramble eggs

  1. 6

    Pour and set eggs

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to set undisturbed for 15–20 seconds so edges begin to firm.

  2. 7

    Gently scramble

    Using a spatula, gently pull eggs from the edges toward the center, folding cooked portions over the softer eggs. Continue folding and moving the eggs for 1–2 minutes until eggs are just set but still moist and slightly glossy. Stir in about half of the crumbled cojita cheese so it warms into the eggs and vegetables.

  3. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Finish & serve

  1. 9

    Turn off heat. Transfer the scramble to plates. Sprinkle the remaining cojita cheese on top and garnish with sliced fresh chives. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired. Serve immediately.
