Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the pepper and onion into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly with a fork, adding a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strip to the skillet. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
- Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the diced onions and peppers. Sauté them over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.
- Pour the beaten egg into the empty side of the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set, then gently stir and scramble it.
- Once the egg is mostly cooked but still slightly runny, mix in the sautéed vegetables and cooked bacon pieces.
- Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the egg is fully cooked and everything is well combined.
- Transfer the scramble to a plate.
- Enjoy your savory bacon and egg scramble with peppers, mushrooms, and onions while it's hot!
Tips:
- Cook the bacon first: Start by cooking the bacon strip in a pan over medium heat until it turns crispy. This will not only cook the bacon to perfection but will also release some bacon fat that will enhance the flavor of the vegetables.
- Use fresh vegetables: Opt for fresh peppers, onions, and mushrooms for the best texture and flavor. Fresh vegetables will ensure that your scramble is crisp and flavorful.
- Do not overcook the vegetables: Sauté the vegetables until they are just tender. Overcooking them can make them mushy and lose their vibrancy.
- Season to taste: Adjust the amount of salt and black pepper according to your preference. It's always easier to add more seasoning later if needed.
- Monitor the eggs closely: Scramble the eggs gently, stirring frequently to achieve a soft, creamy texture. Avoid overcooking the eggs to keep them light and fluffy.
- Customize your scramble: Feel free to add extra ingredients, such as cheese, spinach, or tomatoes, to customize your scramble to your liking.
By following these steps, you can whip up a delicious bacon and egg scramble with peppers, mushrooms, and onions in no time. This simple yet flavorful dish is perfect for starting your day off right or even for a satisfying brunch. Enjoy the combination of crispy bacon, soft vegetables, and fluffy eggs!
