Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well until pale yellow and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt unsalted butter (or olive oil) until bubbling. Add diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced red and green bell peppers along with minced garlic. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and vibrant.
  4. Add the diced cooked potatoes and crumbled sausage to the skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring gently, until golden brown and heated through.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed ingredients. Let it set undisturbed for about 2 minutes.
  6. Gently scramble the eggs with the other ingredients, folding them over until just set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 1 minute, or until cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top. Serve warm, optionally with avocado and cherry tomatoes.
