Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 small onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 slices sandwich bread
• 0.25 cups cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely dice the onion and red bell pepper and set them aside.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become soft and translucent.

Step 5

Add the red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften.

Step 6

Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Add the butter to the empty side of the skillet and allow it to melt.

Step 7

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, using a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs. Slowly mix the eggs with the cooked vegetables as they begin to set.

Step 8

Once the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 9

Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a griddle to your desired level of crispiness.

Step 10

Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the scrambled egg mixture while it’s still warm to let it melt.

Step 11

Divide the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture between two slices of toasted bread, spreading it evenly.

Step 12

Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
