While I was growing up, my mom made scrambled eggs often for dinner. She was a career woman, working long hours, and thinking back, this must have been a quick dinner for her to make. We usually had this with chapattis/ rotis.

I sometimes make scrambled eggs for dinner when I am alone, as it is quick, easy and nutritious. You can eat it with bread or a roti or tortillas. I also make scrambled eggs for my son, but for him, I throw in some grated cheese and he likes to have them for breakfast.
