Add the garlic cloves to the small bowl and process until
finely chopped; remove bowl and r

surface evenly with the oil. Add the garlic to the skillet
and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the

the salt and pepper. Sauté for about 8 to 10 minutes,

puffed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

cooking spray before adding the eggs. T

vegetables are sautéed, stir them into beaten eggs; spray
