Easy Fiesta Scrambled Eggs
Fiesta scrambled eggs are a hearty breakfast that takes scrambled eggs up a notch. A little spice is added to them with red chili peppers and red chili flakes.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes or crushed red pepper can add more or less
- 1-2 fresh chili peppers can add more or less
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons fresh cilantro can add more or less
Instructions
- Start out by making the scrambled eggs. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, cilantro, and chili flakes until well combined.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted.
- Add the chopped chili peppers to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until they have softened up.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds until it begins to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them towards the center of the skillet. Continue to stir the eggs occasionally, until they are cooked through.
- Remove the eggs from the heat and serve.
- Optional: Top the eggs with salsa or cheese.
Notes
- For more spice and heat: add a little more red chili peppers.
- For less heat or spice: cut back a little on the amount of red chili peppers you add.
