Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup onion, diced
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup optional: cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds. Repeat this process every few seconds until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly glossy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (and optional cooked bacon or sausage, if using) over the eggs. Stir gently to melt the cheese and incorporate the ingredients.
Once the eggs are fully cooked but not dry, remove the skillet from the heat immediately.
Serve the breakfast scramble warm with toast, avocado, or fresh fruit on the side, if desired.
