Scrambled Eggs Warm Breakfast Plate
Scrambled Eggs Warm Breakfast Plate
When you need a protein-packed breakfast that'll keep your kiddos full until lunch, scrambled eggs are your best friend! These fluffy, creamy eggs come together in just minutes and are so versatile you can add whatever veggies or cheese you have on hand. It's the perfect canvas for clearing out those leftover ingredients in your fridge too!
Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Make sure the butter coats the entire bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Continue this process for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet. If using cheese, sprinkle it on now.
- Remove from heat immediately (the eggs will continue cooking from residual heat). Garnish with fresh chives if desired and serve alongside buttered toast for the perfect warm breakfast plate.

Ingredients
Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in the oats and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cocoa powder, brown sugar, maple syrup, and salt. Whisk well to combine and ensure no cocoa lumps remain.
- Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips. The chocolate chips will melt slightly, making it extra creamy and chocolatey.
- Let the oatmeal rest for 2 minutes to thicken up a bit more.
- Divide into bowls and top each serving with a generous handful of mini marshmallows. Add a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings if you're feeling extra indulgent.
- Serve immediately while hot and watch it disappear! Pro tip: if the oatmeal gets too thick, just stir in a splash of warm milk to loosen it up.
