Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Sauté Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and tender.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
- Cook Eggs with Vegetables: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes and vegetables in the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
- Add Cheese and Finish Cooking: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the scramble. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese for varied flavors.
- For extra protein and flavor, add cooked bacon or sausage to the scramble.
- Serve with toast, tortillas, or avocado on the side to complete your breakfast.
