You can enjoy this high protein kick-off to the day with any herbs you find tasty and healthy. For a generally nutritious scramble, try parsley, but it's also delicious with chives, dill, basil, or cilantro. Blanching the herbs for one minute keeps them bright green if that's important to you.

Cook time: 5 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
8 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the parsley (and any other herbs) and cook for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the parsley, salt, and several grinds of pepper and whisk to combine.
