Helpful Chef Tips

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Cook the veggies first until they are tender before adding the eggs for the best texture.
- Stir gently and cook over medium heat to avoid overcooking the eggs.

Step 1

Gently heat half of the oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the bell pepper and onion, and cook them, stirring often, until the pepper starts to get a little browned—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the oil, then stir in the kale, harissa, and garlic, mixing everything well so the flavors come together. Turn the heat down to medium, and if the pan looks dry, splash in a tablespoon or two of water to keep things from sticking.

Step 2

Slowly pour the eggs into the pan with the veggies, stirring frequently as they cook. Keep going until the eggs are just about set, which should take around 2 minutes. Finally, fold in the bacon, feta, and pepperoncini, letting everything warm through for a minute or so. Once it’s all heated, go ahead and plate it up.

Serving Ideas For Every Meal

Serve with a slice of whole-grain toast or a side of fresh fruit for a balanced meal. Adding some avocado or a sprinkle of cheese can boost flavor and creaminess. This scramble also pairs well with a light salad for a wholesome lunch.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid drying out the eggs. For best taste and texture, enjoy it fresh whenever possible.
