Directions
Step 1
Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined and frothy. Set aside.

Pour the egg mixture over the bell peppers in the skillet.
Step 6
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a minute, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.
