Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Add butter (or margarine) to an 8-inch (20cm) baking dish , pan, or oval gratin dish and place into the oven to melt the butter for a minute or two.

Remove the dish or pan and rotate or distribute the butter, or use a silicon brush to coat evenly.

Lightly beat the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl.

Transfer the egg mixture to the pan and bake for 10 minutes until the eggs puff around the edges and start to set.

Sprinkle with the grated cheddar cheese and finely diced green peppers.

Return to the oven for about 5 minutes until the eggs are well puffed up, the center of the eggs are set, and they no longer jiggle when shaken—or until your desired level of doneness is achieved.

Serve optionally garnished with sliced tomatoes, sweet chili sauce, salsa, or ketchup as desired.
