Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
14g
1 cup onion
160g
1 cup green pepper
90g
8 eggs
450g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion and green pepper.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until they are well beaten.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Add the 1 tbsp of butter to the pan and let it melt.
3. Cook the Vegetables:
- Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add the finely chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent.
- Add the finely chopped green pepper to the pan.
- Continue to sauté the onion and green pepper together for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Prepare for Scrambling:
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the pan.
- Add the 1 tbsp of olive oil to the empty side of the pan and let it heat for a few seconds.
5. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the side of the pan with the olive oil.
- Allow the eggs to set for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, combining them with the sautéed vegetables.
- Continue to stir and scramble the eggs until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
6. Season and Serve:
- Season the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Serve the scrambled eggs hot, either on their own or with toast, hash browns, or your favorite breakfast side.

Tips:

- Ensure your onions and green peppers are finely chopped for even cooking and a better texture.

- Cook the onions and green peppers until they are tender but still slightly crisp for the best flavor.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding them to the pan; this adds air and helps make the eggs fluffy.

- Cook the eggs on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a creamy texture.

- Stir the eggs gently and continuously to prevent them from sticking to the pan and to ensure even cooking.

- Feel free to add a pinch of salt and pepper or your favorite herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.

- If you prefer a richer taste, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking.

Scrambled eggs with onion and green pepper is a versatile and satisfying dish that's perfect for any meal of the day. With minimal ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, you can enjoy a wholesome and tasty meal in no time. Pair it with toast or a side of fresh fruit for a well-rounded breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!
