Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ red bell pepper, diced
¼ yellow bell pepper, diced
½ yellow onion, diced
1 eggs
6 egg whites
salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red pepper, yellow pepper, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly golden.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg and egg whites until well combined. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently stir and scramble for 4-5 minutes until the eggs reach an internal temperature of 160°F and are fully cooked through, with no runny portions remaining.
Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
