Christmas Eve Breakfast Treat - Pepperoni & Cheese Scrambled Eggs



  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 20 slices turkey pepperoni
  • 1 tbsp. light butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% reduced fat milk
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup grated reduced fat colby cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat.  Add the pepperoni and fry, turning as needed, until crisp around the edges, 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain.  Wipe out the skillet.

Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat.  Whisk the eggs and milk in a bowl; add to the skillet and season with salt & freshly ground black pepper.  Cook, running a rubber spatula around the eggs continuously, until eggs are almost set, 3 minutes.

Sprinkle cheese, pepperoni and green onions over eggs, cover and remove from heat to finish cooking until cheese is melted, about 1 more minute.

Serves 4.  Enjoy.  Merry Christmas!
