Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and green pepper.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until they are well beaten.
- Place a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Add the 1 tbsp of butter to the pan and let it melt.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
