I love to fix this spicy scrambled egg dish for friends and family. It’s almost a meal in itself, but I serve it with muffins or biscuits, fresh fruit juice and coffee. —Kay Kropff, Canyon, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Salsa

Directions

  1. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with bacon. Pour eggs over the top; sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until eggs are completely set. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Serve with salsa.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
