- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Dice the red and green bell peppers into small pieces.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add skim milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.

Let the eggs set for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center as they cook.

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the scrambled eggs.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
