Why this works

A protein-rich breakfast with moderate fat and calories, but relatively low carbohydrate and fibre.

High-quality protein. Three eggs provide all essential amino acids and support satiety, muscle repair and maintenance.

Vitamin C and carotenoids. Red pepper adds vitamin C plus carotenoids, which support immune function and antioxidant intake.

Saturated fat and cholesterol. Butter and eggs contribute saturated fat; salt also adds sodium, so this is best enjoyed as part of a balanced day.

Method

Finely dice the red pepper.
Beat the eggs until just combined with a little salt and black pepper.
Melt butter in a small non-stick pan over a low heat and add the red pepper.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the eggs and stir slowly with a spatula, scraping the base of the pan.
Cook until softly set and still glossy.
Serve straight away.
