Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
- 1/4 pound beef pepperoni, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 scallion, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced on the bias
Instructions
- 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.

Easy and you can add what you want for toppings. It was a big hit and the clean up was fast…
I started messing around with the basic omelet as a kid, eventually, i got to my basic pepperoni omelet: adding pepperoni, and taco seasoned shredded cheese(gave it the perfect seasoning). every now and then I would throw in peppers, or different seasoning. it was hit even for my niece who hateddddd omelets!
We grew up on scrambled eggs with pepperoni and also we would add a jar of my mother’s canned hot peppers in sauce. It was a real treat!
I got many compliments on this dish. The eggs are very light and fluffy.
It’s been a very, VERY long time since I’ve seen an original idea for scrambled eggs. Pepperoni.. BRILLIANT!! (It’s also great using turkey pepperoni, gives the illusion of healthy eating. Thank you Robert!
