How to Make Buckeye Scramble

  1. Dice the potato and in a nonstick skillet, cook the potatoes in 1/4 cup of water over medium heat for 2 minutes, covered.
  2. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, for 2 more minutes.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Set aside near the stove.
  4. Remove the lid from the skillet and continue cooking the vegetables until any remaining water evaporates. Watch carefully.
  5. Once the water is gone, add the oil and butter. Let it heat until it sizzles, stirring to coat the pan.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Gently stir and fluff with a fork or spatula to create scrambled egg curds.
  7. When the eggs are almost fully cooked, turn off the heat. Stir in the cheese, jalapeño (if using), pimento, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  8. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt completely. Serve immediately and enjoy your Buckeye Scramble!
