SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PEPPERS
This dish, a classic piperade from southwestern France, is a great way to use those vitamin-rich peppers still abundant in farmers' markets. You can mix and match peppers here. Just be sure to cook them for a long time so that their juices infuse the eggs.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or heavy casserole over medium heat. Add the peppers. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about one minute. Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat, about 10 minutes. Cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer over low heat for another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the mixture is thick and fragrant.
- Beat the eggs in a medium bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium, and stir in the eggs. Cook, stirring every few seconds, until the eggs are scrambled. Remove from the heat and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the grapeseed oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pepperoni and fry, turning as needed, until crisp around the edges, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain; pour off the fat and 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 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, running a rubber spatula around the edges and along the bottom to prevent the eggs from sticking, until almost set, 2 to 3 minutes; sprinkle with the cheese, pepperoni and scallion, then cover and remove from the heat to finish cooking, about 1 more minute.
SCRAMBLED PEPPERS AND EGGS
As in many Mark Bittman recipes, the idea here is more vegetables -- in this case, peppers -- than protein. It works because except for the jalapeño, none of the peppers is hot.

ITALIAN PEAS AND EGGS
This is a slightly spicy and VERY filling side dish that you can alter to suit your family's tastes. It's the absolute only way to get my kids and I to eat peas! Simple, filling and TASTY! This comes from my father-in-law's family where inexpensive foods were used to create a filling meal. My husband LOVES to sop up the pea/oil juice with fresh Italian bread. Great as a side for meat dishes.

- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many ingredients to the pan, the eggs will not cook evenly and will become watery.
- Stir the eggs constantly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the eggs over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from overcooking.
- Season the eggs to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
