Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 loaf of bread
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by gathering them on a clean work surface. Dice the bell peppers and chop the onions into small, uniform pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened and fragrant.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Use a spatula to gently stir and scramble the eggs, creating soft, creamy curds.
- When eggs are nearly set but still slightly wet, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and fold gently to distribute.
- Remove the scrambled egg mixture from heat just before eggs are completely dry to maintain a creamy texture.
- Slice the loaf of bread and lightly toast or warm it in the oven or toaster.
- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately over the warm bread, allowing the eggs to slightly drape over the bread slices.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture and flavor, opt for a hearty loaf like sourdough or whole grain. These breads can hold up well against the creamy scrambled eggs.
- Whisk Well: When whisking the eggs, aim for a frothy mixture. This incorporates air into the eggs, resulting in a fluffier scramble.
- Don’t Overcook: Remove the eggs from the heat when they are still slightly wet. They will continue to cook off the heat, ensuring a creamy texture.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms to suit your taste preferences.
- Experiment with Cheese: While shredded cheese is delicious, try mixing it up with different varieties like feta, goat cheese, or pepper jack for an extra flavor kick.
- Garnish for Flair: Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or even a sprinkle of paprika can add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
- Make it a Meal: Pair your Scrambled Egg Brunch Bread with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete brunch experience.
