Treat your ingredients with care...

• Eggs — For fluffier scrambled eggs, whisk them vigorously before cooking.
• Bell peppers and onions — Sauté them until they are slightly caramelized to enhance their flavors.
• Bread — Choose a bread variety that you enjoy, such as whole wheat or sourdough, for added taste and texture.

Tips & Tricks

• Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the scrambled eggs for an extra cheesy twist.
• Customize your sandwich by adding sliced avocado or tomato.
• For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a few jalapeno slices.
• Use a panini press to toast the sandwich for a crispy exterior.
• If you prefer a softer texture, you can fold the scrambled eggs into an omelette shape instead of scrambling them.
