Step-by-Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs and pour in 2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk until smooth, season with salt and pepper.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Melt completely without browning.
Sauté 1/2 cup of diced bell peppers and 1/4 cup of diced red onions for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables and let it sit for 1 minute.
Gently stir the eggs, pushing cooked edges toward the center, for 3-5 minutes until creamy.
Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of bacon bits, and 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes. Fold gently to combine.
Remove from heat while eggs are slightly runny. Residual heat will finish cooking.
Garnish with chopped chives and hot sauce if desired. Serve warm.
