Hi Jagruti. You totally could! Or even omit and add in more variety of veggies like bell pepper.
Love breakfast scrambles! This look so healthy.
It sure is! Thanks Evi!
Nothing beats a good egg scramble for breakfast. I usually make mine with leftovers, but the rice would be an interesting addition I’ve never tried before!
It was new to me but totally makes it better. Plus the brown and wild rice adds and nice chewy texture
Lovely colors. This looks so beautiful and delicious!
Thanks so much Kushi!
That’s how my perfect breakfast looks like. I am surely making this sooner or later!
Thanks so much Igor! Hope you do
This looks delicious! I’m a vegetarian, but with a veggie sausage link replacement and a vegetarian eggless egg replacement, I could make this exact meal at home. It looks really good, especially with the cherry tomatoes and Minute Rice. Yum!! #client
Hi Serena. You could definitely modify it and like the creativity there! I agree the rice can stay in. Thanks!
