Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk or water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces, discarding the seeds and inner membranes.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the low-fat milk or water. Whisk the mixture together until the egg yolks and whites are thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Add freshly ground black pepper into the egg mixture. If using chives, finely chop and add them in at this stage.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced red bell pepper.
Step 5
Sauté the bell peppers for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender and begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, then pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the red bell peppers.
Step 7
Allow the eggs to set around the edges, then gently stir with a spatula to form soft curds. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the scrambled eggs onto plates. Serve immediately while hot.
