Ingredients
  

For the Loaded Scrambled Eggs
  • 4 large eggs fresh
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers any color
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet
  • Medium bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. If you're using bacon or sausage, make sure it's cooked and crumbled.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk them together until well combined and frothy. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  3. Step 3: In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute.
  5. Step 5: Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and cooked bacon or sausage. Stir gently to combine and allow the cheese to melt into the eggs.
  7. Step 7: Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. They should be fluffy and slightly creamy.
  8. Step 8: Transfer the loaded scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!

Notes

If you have any leftovers, let them cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk to bring back the creaminess.
