Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cup diced potatoes
- ⅓ cup cooked meat
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ medium onion
- 1 whole bell pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup shredded cheese
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (350°F) until shimmering.
- Add 2 cups diced potatoes, ½ diced onion, and 1 chopped bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables turn golden and soft.
- Sprinkle 1 minced garlic clove into the skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
- Whisk 6 large eggs with ¼ cup milk in a separate bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour egg mixture over the vegetables, reducing heat to low (325°F). Gently fold eggs using a spatula, creating soft, creamy curds.
- Stir in ⅓ cup cooked meat and ½ cup shredded cheese, continuing to fold until cheese melts and meat warms through.
- Remove skillet from heat and season with salt and pepper to your preferred taste.
- Scatter 2 tablespoons fresh herbs across the top of the scramble for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes to add a nutritious twist and slightly different flavor profile.
- Dice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from being undercooked or burnt.
- Use a nonstick skillet to prevent eggs and potatoes from sticking, making cleanup much easier.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like feta, sharp cheddar, or goat cheese to customize the flavor to your preference.
