Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup green bell pepper
• 2 sliced green onions
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 deseeded and finely chopped red chilli
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are fully beaten and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, then set it aside.

Step 3

In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the chopped red and green bell peppers. Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the chopped green onions and cherry tomatoes to the pan, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the finely chopped red chilli, adjusting the quantity to your personal taste if a milder or more intense spice level is preferred.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Let it cook for about a minute without stirring, allowing the edges to set slightly.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, bringing the cooked edges towards the center and allowing the uncooked portions to move to the outer edges.

Step 9

Continue cooking and gently stirring until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the eggs and remove the pan from the heat. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your choice of toast or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
