Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2-3 tablespoons (3-45 ml) water or milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter, margarine, or oil
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) white or crimini mushrooms, sliced or diced

Method of Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat eggs and water with a fork or whisk until well blended and uniform in color.

Step 2

In a 10-inch size skillet over medium heat, melt butter and saute vegetables 2 to 3 minutes until tender or desired texture.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium-low and add egg mixture. As eggs firm up, move the cooked egg to the center of the skillet using a wood spoon or spatula allowing the liquid egg to contact the hot skillet. Cook eggs until set but not dry. Serve immediately.
