Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Chop parsley and dill finely; chop scallions into 1-inch pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk 8 eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper until combined. Fold in herbs, kidney beans, and walnuts.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.

    Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook 3 minutes without stirring until bottom edges set and turn golden.
