Ingredients

• 100 g onion, quartered
• 15 g olive oil
• 150 g diced ham or bacon lardons
• 100 g red bell pepper, deseeded and diced (approx. 1.5 cm)
• 100 g green bell pepper, deseeded and diced (approx. 1.5 cm)
• 100 g yellow bell pepper, deseeded and diced (approx. 1.5 cm)
• 6 large eggs
• 50 g milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs (e.g., oregano, thyme)

Instructions

1. Place the onion into the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
2. Add 15 g olive oil and 150 g diced ham or bacon lardons to the mixing bowl. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1. Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to prevent splatter.
3. Add 100 g red bell pepper, 100 g green bell pepper, and 100 g yellow bell pepper to the mixing bowl. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1 (Reverse). Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup.
4. While the vegetables are sautéing, crack 6 large eggs into a separate bowl. Add 50 g milk or cream (if using), ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried mixed herbs. Whisk well with a fork until combined.
5. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the mixing bowl with the sautéed vegetables and ham. Cook 4 min / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse). Remove the measuring cup and place the simmering basket on the lid to allow some steam to escape.
6. Pause the Thermomix. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula. Check the consistency of the scramble. If it needs more cooking, continue for another 1-2 min / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse).
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
