Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ½ chopped red or green bell pepper

  • ½ cup chopped, seeded tomato

  • 2 cups refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 8 eggs

  • cup fat-free milk

  • teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato.

  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together egg product, milk, salt, and black pepper. Add egg mixture to vegetable mixture in skillet. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around edge.

  3. With a spatula or a large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked egg mixture so that the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until egg mixture is cooked through but is still glossy and moist. Remove from heat. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
