Method

  1. 01

    Prepare the vegetables

    Remove the root end and any damaged outer layers from the leeks. Split them lengthwise, wash them carefully to remove soil, and slice them thinly. Finely chop the green pepper.

    Ready to continue when: There is no visible soil between the leek layers and both vegetables are cut.

  2. 02

    Cook the vegetables

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the leek and green pepper and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Ready to continue when: The vegetables are tender and have taken on very little colour.

    10 min
  3. 03

    Beat the eggs

    Lightly beat the eggs with the salt, only until the whites and yolks are combined.

    Ready to continue when: The egg mixture is evenly coloured and does not need to be foamy.

  4. 04

    Set the scramble

    Lower the heat to minimum, pour the eggs over the vegetables, and stir gently. Remove the pan from the heat before the scramble dries out and let residual heat finish setting it.

    Ready to continue when: The eggs are softly set and the mixture remains creamy.
