Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 items large eggs
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 0.5 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Start by preparing your vegetables. Dice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into small, uniform pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk. Whisk them together until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the olive oil.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but still retain their vibrant color.
Pour the egg mixture over the bell peppers in the skillet. Allow it to sit for a few seconds to begin setting.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue this until the eggs are cooked to your liking, around 3-5 minutes.
Season with ground black pepper and remove from heat.
Garnish the scrambled eggs with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low sodium scrambled eggs with bell peppers.
