Pumpkin-Scrambled Eggs

I’m a huge fan of pumpkin, and am always looking for creative and clever ways to add the beta-carotene-rich ingredient into a variety of dishes.
Yield: 1 serving
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 whole egg
  • 3 egg whites
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon freeze-dried chives
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Hot sauce, optional

Instructions
 

  • Warm a skillet over medium-low heat and coat with olive-oil cooking spray.
