Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
• 1 cup (packed) baby spinach
• 4 slices (crumbled) cooked bacon
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) chives or green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds before gently stirring with a spatula.

Step 6

As the eggs begin to set, gently fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to cook and stir until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer runny, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions, and enjoy your Wildcat Scramble!
