Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 whole red bell pepper
• 0.5 whole green bell pepper
• 0.5 whole onion
• 1 whole fresh red chili pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Dice the red and green bell peppers, and finely chop the onion. Slice the fresh red chili pepper into thin rings, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for approximately 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes, until they start to become tender.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced chili pepper and cook for an additional minute.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, reducing the heat to low. Stir gently and continuously with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center as they begin to set.

Step 8

Continue cooking and gently folding the eggs until they are slightly runny but mostly set. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Season the eggs with ground black pepper, adding any additional spices or salt substitutes if desired.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
