- 2 slices bread
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 tbsp chives
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Slice the 1 bell pepper into thin strips. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté the pepper until soft and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with 2 tbsp milk, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until the yolks are broken and the mixture is uniform.
- 3
Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Keep warm.
- 4
In the same skillet over low heat, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for 30 seconds without stirring.
- 5
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, folding occasionally, until they form soft, creamy curds, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat while still slightly underdone.

Place the toast on plates and divide the sautéed bell pepper between them. Spoon the scrambled eggs over the top.

Garnish with the 2 tbsp chopped chives and serve immediately.
