Prep Time:10 mins

Total Time:25 mins
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 bacon strips
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 0.5 onion
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by dicing the red and green bell peppers and the onion, slicing the cherry tomatoes in half, and rinsing the spinach leaves thoroughly.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 3

Discard most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for added flavor. If necessary, add a small amount of butter to the pan.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Add the bell peppers and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 7

Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allow it to settle for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan as the eggs cook.

Step 8

Once the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, stir in the cooked vegetables and crumbled bacon, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set but still moist, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.

Step 10

Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
