Omelets are surely nice and easy to make, but for some variation in your breakfast meals, you may consider cooking something else at times. For example, another quick breakfast recipe that can’t go wrong are scrambled eggs. Some say that they are even easier than omelettes, because you don’t have to worry about making the perfect omelet, folding it evenly, filling it nicely and so on. You just throw all ingredients in the pan, cook them for one-two minutes and the breakfast is served. If you have a big family, this can save you a lot of time, because you cook for all people at once, while if you make omelets, you have to cook them one by one, so it’s the time multiplied by the number of people you cook for. Here’s how to cook scrambled eggs with bacon and red peppers.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

• 4 slices of bacon (choose nice ones, which have both some fat and some lean meat, and leave out the pork skin)
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped small
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time 10 minutes

Serves 2

Cooking method:

Cut the bacon slices in thin stripes, then cook them in a frying pan, at medium temperature. You don’t need to add any oil, because the bacon will generate the cooking liquid from the melting fat. Stir often until you see that most of the fat has gone and the bacon pieces start to get a crispy, yellow look. Beat the eggs in a bowl together with the salt and pour the mixture over the hot bacon pieces. Cook the food at medium fire until you see the egg mixture starts to harden. This could take about two minutes. Then add the chopped red pepper in the pan and continue cooking and stirring until eggs are well done. With a large spoon, make portions and put them on two plates, then sprinkle oregano and freshly ground black pepper over them. Serve hot, with cherry tomatoes.
