Why This Meal Is A Winner
Quick, nutritious, and packed with vibrant vegetables. It’s a great way to start your day with protein and fiber, keeping you full and energized. Plus, it’s easy to customize with whatever veggies you have on hand.
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.
