Scramble Preparation

  • Crack eggs, add milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk until well combined and frothy.
  • Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced bell peppers, ham, or sausage for 2-3 minutes until soft.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As eggs set, gently push them from the edges to the center with a spatula.
  • Continue cooking and stirring until eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
  • Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined with the eggs, then remove from heat.

Serving

  • Warm tortillas or toast bread.
  • Divide scrambled egg mixture evenly between warmed tortillas or serve with toast.
  • Garnish with optional toppings like salsa, avocado, or chives, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the eggs with the salt and pepper. Adjust the amount of cheese to your liking, and feel free to use different types of cheese like Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend. If you like a little heat, a dash of hot sauce in the eggs or as a topping works great!
