Sunny Skillet Scramble

This is the perfect breakfast for a lazy weekend morning. It's easy to make, and it's packed with flavor. The bell pepper and onion add a nice sweetness and crunch, and the cheese gives it a rich and creamy texture.

This recipe was inspired by a breakfast I had at a local diner. I was so impressed by how flavorful and satisfying it was, that I knew I had to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally perfected the recipe, and I'm excited to share it with you.

Prep time: 5 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 8 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, if desired.
