    Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure vegetables caramelize rather than steam.

    While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and black pepper, then whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

    Whisking well incorporates air, leading to fluffier scrambled eggs.

    Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the pan. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds to set slightly at the bottom, then gently push and fold them with a spatula until they are cooked to your desired consistency, still moist but not runny.
