Salsa Scrambled Eggs
Report
Add some zestiness to ho-hum scrambled eggs with southwestern flavors - onion, green bell pepper, shredded cheese, and salsa or hot sauce of your choice make for one festive breakfast.

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 plash cream (or milk)
- 2 tablespoons yellow onion diced
- 2 tablespoons green bell pepper diced
- 2 dashes salt
- 2-3 dashes black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- Salsa or hot sauce of your choosing (optional)
Instructions
- Add the butter to a pan over medium heat. Once completely melted, add diced onions and green bell pepper.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low. In a bowl, add eggs, cream (or milk), salt and pepper and whisk vigorously.
- Pour egg mixture into the pan. Cook low and slow for around 5 minutes, using a spatula to gently push the eggs around. I recommend keeping the scrambled eggs slightly wet, as they will continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes during the next step.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and put a lid on it for 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve with salsa or hot sauce.

Notes
- Use either white or yellow here as red onions discolor during cooking and don’t look appetizing in the final product.
