Ingredients

## Ingredients:

  • * Large eggs - 4 4 eggs
  • * Fresh red chili finely chopped - 1 chili
  • * Green bell pepper diced - ½ pepper (about 75 grams)
  • * Red bell pepper diced - ½ pepper (about 75 grams)
  • * Onion finely chopped - 1 small onion (about 70 grams)
  • * Olive oil - 1 tablespoon 15 milliliters
  • * Turmeric powder - ¼ teaspoon about 1 gram
  • * Ground black pepper - to taste
  • * Sea salt - to taste
  • * Fresh cilantro chopped - for garnishing
  • * Grated cheddar cheese - 2 tablespoons optional, about 30 grams

Instructions

## Instructions:

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, adding a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Whisk them together until the yolks and whites combine into a smooth mix.
  • Set your pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
  • Pour the olive oil, swirling it around to cover the base.
  • Once the oil heats up, toss in the chopped onion, sautéing it until it turns translucent.
  • Next, introduce the red and green bell peppers, stirring them in with the onions.
  • Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, adding that golden touch and a bunch of health benefits to your Spicy Scrambled Eggs.
  • As the veggies get tender, which should take about 2 minutes, it's time to pour in those whisked eggs.
  • Keep stirring gently, making sure to scramble the mix without overdoing it.
  • Halfway through, sprinkle in the finely chopped red chili, adjusting to your desired level of heat.
  • As the eggs get that soft, curdled consistency, which should be in about 3-4 minutes, remove the pan from the heat.
  • If you’re up for it, scatter some grated cheddar on top while it's still hot.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

# Tips:
1. Always use fresh eggs. They not only taste better but also give a creamy texture to the scramble.
2. Cook on medium heat. High heat might brown your eggs too quickly, losing the creamy essence of scrambled eggs.
3. Add other veggies if you fancy! Think tomatoes, spinach, or even some mushrooms. It’s your Spicy Scrambled Eggs canvas.
4. For a smoky touch, consider a dash of paprika or smoked red pepper.
5. A non-stick pan is your best friend here. Trust us; it makes the scrambling process a breeze.
