**Scrambled Egg and Green Pepper Sandwich**
**Ingredients:**
- 2 slices of crusty bread (such as sourdough or a rustic loaf)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream (optional, for creamier eggs)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. **Toast the bread:** Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the slices of crusty bread in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can toast the bread in a toaster.
2. **Prepare the scrambled eggs:** In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper.
3. **Cook the scrambled eggs:** In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the green bell pepper slices and sauté for about 2 minutes, until they begin to soften. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the edges to allow the eggs to cook evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled but still fluffy and slightly creamy.
4. **Assemble the sandwich:** Once the bread is toasted and the eggs are cooked, place one slice of the toasted bread on a plate. Spoon the scrambled eggs and green bell pepper mixture generously onto the bread.
5. **Top with fresh herbs:** Sprinkle fresh chopped herbs over the eggs for a burst of color and flavor.
6. **Finish and serve:** Place the second slice of toasted bread on top and gently press the sandwich together. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately for a delicious, comforting meal.
