Why I Love This Recipe
I’m a big fan of meals that are as beautiful as they are delicious, and this scramble bowl is a feast for the eyes. What I love most is the way the flavors and textures play off each other.

The cucumber and fresh greens add a refreshing crunch, and the pumpkin seeds and everything bagel seasoning provide a fantastic savory, nutty finish. It’s a meal that’s easy to customize and is packed with protein, healthy fats, and vitamins, making it the perfect start to a busy day.

Swaps and Notes

- Assemble the Bowl: Arrange the fluffy scrambled eggs, the sliced avocado, tomato, and cucumber in a bowl. Add a handful of fresh spinach and arugula. If you’re using it, add a dollop of hummus.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds and everything bagel seasoning over the top.
- Serve: Serve the savory scramble bowl immediately and enjoy!
