Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium yellow bell pepper
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Dice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into small, evenly-sized pieces.
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened and vibrant in color.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour the egg mixture over the sautéed bell peppers in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to set slightly on the bottom, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves as they cook. Keep stirring occasionally until the eggs are cooked through but still creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the scrambled eggs for a fresh garnish.
Serve the scrambled eggs with bell peppers immediately, with toast or as part of a larger breakfast spread.
