Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, crack and whisk together 4 large eggs with 2 tablespoons of milk until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers and 1/4 cup of diced red onions to the skillet. Sauté for around 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly over the vegetables. Allow it to set undisturbed for about 1 minute.
  5. Gently stir the eggs using a spatula every 20-30 seconds for 2-3 minutes until softly scrambled but still slightly runny.
  6. Introduce 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of cooked bacon bits, and 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes. Gently fold them into the eggs.
  7. Remove from heat when eggs are still slightly undercooked, about 30 seconds off the burner to achieve a creamy texture.
  8. Spoon onto serving plates immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped chives and optional hot sauce.
