Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined and frothy. Set aside.
Dice the red and green bell peppers into small, evenly-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Pour the egg mixture over the bell peppers in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a minute, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until just set but still moist, about 3-4 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the scrambled eggs.
Serve immediately for a protein-rich and colorful breakfast.
