Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 habanero pepper sliced
- 1 jalapeno pepper sliced
- 1 serrano pepper sliced
- 1 large sweet pepper – I used a Gypsy Hybrid
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh chopped herbs for serving
- Your favorite hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat and add the pepper slices. Saute them about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 4 minutes, until each side is nice and crispy. Remove the peppers from the heat.
- Heat the same pan to medium and add remaining olive oil. Beat the eggs and pour into the pan and cook a couple minutes, until the eggs start to set. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add most of the peppers onto the eggs (reserving a few for garnish), then add cheese.
- Fold one side of the eggs over the other to form a half moon. Cook another minute to allow the eggs to set and cheese to melt.
- Serve onto a plate and top with extra peppers and fresh herbs.
- Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce as desired! Enjoy!
