Egg Scramble Breakfast Recipe

Bell Pepper Egg Scramble



1 tsp canola oil

1 c frozen pepper and onion mix

1 egg

1 egg white

salt and pepper

1/8 c 2% shredded cheddar cheese

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tsp of oil and let it warm for a few seconds, then add the pepper mix. Cook the peppers until they're warm. They'll probably leave a bit of water which is fine.

Add the beaten egg and egg white. As the egg cooks on the outer rim, pull back to let the center run outward. Flip the mixture once it's almost solid. Cook another minute.

Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

I use all store name brands unless something is unavailable. In that case, I buy the cheapest name brand.

Budget Breakdown:

This recipe made one breakfast scramble.

I ate this breakfast scramble with 1 c fresh watermelon and 1 c of skim milk. My entire breakfast cost around $1.00. How's that for budget friendly?
