Spicy Scrambled Eggs

Posted 2015-01-23 by Lindsay Law ⇒ follow

Scrambled eggs on toast are a traditional breakfast favourite but I find them a bit too plain. Here's an idea that adds interesting flavours and textures to plain eggs.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2 small servings

Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 onion
1/2 red pepper
1 preserved or fresh chilli (to taste)
2 eggs
1 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
Salt and pepper

Method

Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan.

Slice the onion and red pepper into fine strips.

Cook the onion and red pepper in the heated oil until they start to soften.

Slice the chillies into small pieces and add them to the onion and pepper in the pan.

Beat the eggs along with the chilli powder and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You could swap the chilli for Cayenne pepper if you wanted a slightly less hot flavour.
