Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 0.5 green bell pepper
- 0.5 yellow bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Start by washing and drying all bell peppers. Cut each half of the bell peppers into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper.
Whisk the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the softened bell peppers.
Allow the eggs to cook slowly, stirring gently with a spatula, pulling the eggs across the pan as they set.
Continue cooking and stirring until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh chives over the scrambled eggs.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb scrambled eggs with bell peppers!
