I known this may sound like a strange combination to some of you, but its actually pretty tasty. The first time I saw this, my aunt was serving it to us for breakfast one morning. I liked to eat raw peas from the garden, so I didn’t hesitate to try this breakfast dish, and I liked it. Recently, I woke up thinking about peas and eggs, so I whipped up some for breakfast. I had leftover corn tortillas, so that was what I had with them instead of the toast that my aunt had served.
This whole dish comes together quickly. In fact, this one came together so quickly that I didn’t think about posting a blog with the recipe until I was plating the food. That’s why there are no photos of the steps. Of course, being half asleep might have had something to do with it, too. This recipe can easily be modified to include other vegetables like corn, carrots, or mushrooms. Cheese is always a great addition, too.
The instructions tell you to cook the eggs over a low heat. The reason for this is because scrambled eggs are always more fluffy when they are cooked slowly over a low temperature. Almost everyone likes fluffy scrambled eggs.
If you’re wondering what to serve with your peas and eggs, you can serve them with just a side of toast, or a warm tortilla. If you like meat with your eggs, sausage or bacon taste good with the combination of peas and eggs. As for me, I’m looking forward to the leftover Easter ham. This is particularly good when served alongside a slice of leftover ham.
Give the recipe a try and let me know what you think.
- 1 small onion finely chopped (about ½ - ¾ cup)
- 6 eggs

- The secret to fluffy scrambled eggs is to cook them slowly at a low temperature.
- When the eggs are set and the peas are heated through, it's ready to serve.
Okay, I see that you’ve come up with a new egg recipe!! I don’t think I’ve ever tried scrambled eggs with peas. I’ll have to try this.
Angie, my aunt used to scramble all sorts of things in the eggs in the morning, so I’m very brave when it comes to adding ingredients to the eggs. One of her favorites was to scramble the eggs with baby shrimp. I was skeptical, but it was delicious.
I’ve never tried scrambled eggs with peas but I really need to eat those peas due to irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. 🥶
I don’t know much about IBS, but I have several other pea recipes on this website. My personal favorite is green pea salad which is a great accompaniment to any summer barbecue.
Was looking for breakfast recipes that came with peas. This did not disappoint!
Desiree, I’m so glad you enjoyed this. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. My favorite thing about the scrambled eggs with peas is that it gives you a head start on your daily servings of veggies.
