• 4 to 6 eggs

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 1 bell pepper/capsicum, diced

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

• Thinly sliced or shredded meat, like boiled or fried chicken

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Sauté the diced bell peppers and onions in an oven-safe pan at medium heat. (You can also include other vegetables, like spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms.)

• Add the meat to the pan. (You can also use ground meat, but it may need to cook longer in the oven.)

• Beat eggs, cream, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

• Add the egg mixture to the pan and mix together until even.

• Cook the egg and vegetable mixture in the pan until the eggs begin to firm up and edges begin to pull away.

• Place the pan into a pre-heated oven. Keep in oven until completely firm. You can then add shredded cheese on top and put back into the oven until the cheese melts.

• Flip onto a plate and serve with toasted bread.
