scrambled eggies with fresh veggies

so this is one of my standard breakfasts during the summer. the bell peppers and tomatoes are from our garden. the veggies taste amazing! i'm kind of picky about my scrambled eggs and i rarely like anyone else's. i think when it comes to scrambled eggs everyone likes their own way the best, but i will share how i make mine in case you want to try them. basically i whisk together the eggs, a splash of heavy whipping cream or whole milk...only a splash!...a dash of salt and pepper. i grate a small handful of medium cheddar cheese before i start cooking. i use a nonstick frying pan...size of pan depends on how much i'm making, but egg mixture shouldn't be more than half an inch deep. i first melt a little bit of butter in the pan over 'just under' medium heat. then i cook the egg mixture until it's almost dry...about the moistness that the french would consider scrambled eggs to be done...and that's when i sprinkle on the grated cheese (be careful not to use too much!). i completely mix the cheese in with the eggs, so you can't see that there's cheese in the eggs and cook until dry with the slightest shine on them...the shine actually is from the oil in the cheese. then i top it with my chopped tomatoes and thinly sliced peppers and sprinkle on a dash of pepper.
