- 1 medium, diced

- Stale bread
- 3 cups, cut into cubes
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Salsa (optional)
- for serving
- Avocado (optional)
- 1, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the stale bread cubes to the skillet, cooking until they are crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bread from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, diced bell peppers, and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the crispy bread pieces back into the skillet and gently stir to combine all ingredients.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the migas and cover the skillet. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve warm, with a side of salsa and sliced avocado for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips
- For added spice, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or a Spanish cheese like Manchego for a different flavor profile.
- If you have leftover roasted vegetables, feel free to toss them in for a delicious variation.
