100 g grated cheese such as cheddar or gouda

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth and airy. Finely chop the onion and dice the bell pepper.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat with oil or butter. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
