Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 whole red bell pepper
- 0.5 whole green bell pepper
- 0.5 whole onion
- 1 whole fresh red chili pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
Dice the red and green bell peppers, and finely chop the onion. Slice the fresh red chili pepper into thin rings, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for approximately 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes, until they start to become tender.
Stir in the sliced chili pepper and cook for an additional minute.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, reducing the heat to low. Stir gently and continuously with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center as they begin to set.
Continue cooking and gently folding the eggs until they are slightly runny but mostly set. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Season the eggs with ground black pepper, adding any additional spices or salt substitutes if desired.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
