Looking for a delicious and quick breakfast option? This Feta Scramble with Bell Pepper is not only easy to make but also loaded with flavor and nutrients. Perfect for a busy morning or a relaxed weekend brunch, this dish combines the creamy tanginess of feta cheese with the sweet crunch of green bell pepper, all enveloped in perfectly scrambled eggs. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the green bell pepper. Remove the stem and seeds, then dice the pepper into small, even pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Crumble the feta cheese if it's not pre-crumbled.
- In a medium non-stick frying pan, heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell pepper to the pan. Sauté the pepper for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still slightly crisp.
- Reduce the heat to low-medium. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the bell pepper. Allow the eggs to sit for a few seconds until they just start to set around the edges.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook the eggs and peppers over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny (about 1-2 minutes).
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the eggs. Continue to cook for another minute, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked and the feta is evenly distributed and slightly melted.
- Remove the pan from heat and transfer the feta scramble with bell pepper to a serving plate. Serve immediately, perhaps with a slice of whole-grain toast or a side of fresh fruit.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute the green pepper with red, yellow, or orange bell pepper for a slightly different taste and a pop of color.
- For a richer scramble, add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking.
- Ensure the pan is moderately hot before adding the eggs to get fluffy, well-cooked scrambled eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, but be mindful of the saltiness from the feta cheese.
In just a few minutes, you can whip up a delicious and nutritious Feta Scramble with Bell Pepper that will energize your day. This dish is versatile and can be adjusted to your taste preferences, making it a go-to recipe for any meal. Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying scramble!
