Instructions

- Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the peppers.
- Feel free to add cheese, such as provolone or mozzarella, to the egg mixture for a creamier texture.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole grain or sourdough, to suit your taste.
