Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup green bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the mixture is frothy and the egg yolks and whites are well combined.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt, ensuring the skillet is evenly coated.

Step 3

Once the butter is hot, add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables.

Step 5

Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center of the skillet. Repeat this process to create soft curds. Avoid stirring continuously to maintain the fluffy texture.

Step 6

When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 7

Gently fold the cheese into the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat, transfer the scrambled eggs to plates, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your scrambled breakfast!
