Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced

  • ½ bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  3. Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well mixed.
  5. Pour whisked eggs into the skillet over the veggies and potatoes. Stir gently until eggs are just set.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top while hot to allow it to melt. Serve immediately.
