Ingredients

7 whole large eggs

3 large egg whites

1/2 cup milk

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

4 ounces bulk breakfast sausage (1/2 cup)

1 cup coarsely grated sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar (1/4 pound)

Method

Preheat broiler.

Whisk together whole eggs and whites, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Cook bell pepper and onion in oil in an ovenproof 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 8 minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking up large clumps, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Add egg mixture and half of cheese and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath, 3 to 5 minutes (top will still be moist).

Sprinkle top with remaining cheese and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until set, puffed, and golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Cool 5 minutes, then loosen edges with a spatula and slide onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
