Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Sandwich
Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 sandwich rolls
- Optional: cheese slices
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the bell pepper and dicing it into small, uniform pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Add the diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly softened and start to develop a light golden color.
- Pour the whisked eggs directly over the peppers in the skillet, allowing them to spread evenly across the pan's surface.
- Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs and peppers together, continuously folding and stirring to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook the egg and pepper mixture for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set but still moist and not dry.
- While the eggs are cooking, lightly toast the sandwich rolls to add a crisp texture.
- Optional: If using cheese, place a slice on each roll's interior during the last minute of toasting to allow slight melting.
- Once eggs are cooked, remove from heat and immediately divide the scrambled egg and pepper mixture between the two toasted rolls.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use farm-fresh eggs and crisp bell peppers for the best flavor and texture.
- Pan Temperature is Key: Keep your skillet at medium heat to prevent eggs from becoming rubbery or burning.
- Whisk Eggs Thoroughly: A good whisking creates fluffy, light scrambled eggs with a consistent texture.
- Don't Overcook: Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly moist to maintain a creamy consistency.
- Experiment with Cheese: Try different cheese varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss for added flavor.
- Toast Rolls Perfectly: Lightly butter the rolls before toasting for an extra golden, crispy exterior.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper - they enhance the overall taste of your sandwich.
- Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed hot and fresh right after preparation.
