Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices sourdough bread slices
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Dice the red and green bell peppers into small cubes.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs as they cook, folding them over themselves to create soft curds. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly creamy.
Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet and gently fold them into the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt for 1 minute.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown.
Divide the Sunny Side Scramblers onto two plates and serve alongside the toasted sourdough bread. Enjoy your sunny breakfast!
