Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the cooked bell peppers.

Step 5

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir the mixture with a spatula, pushing it from the edges toward the center.

Step 6

When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7

Continue to stir gently until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked to your desired consistency.

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the scramble to serving plates.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
