Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a 10 inch cast iron or non-stick skillet and heat it over medium high heat. When the oil is hot add in the onion and bell peppers and season with salt and pepper.
