How to Make Dog Days Scramble

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until light and frothy.
Add shredded cheese, cooked bacon or ham, microwaved onion, and bell pepper to the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper and hot sauce (if using). Stir to combine.
Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the eggs are cooked through but still slightly moist (about 3-5 minutes total). Cooking time will depend on your microwave.
Garnish with fresh chives or green onions.
Serve immediately with cold fruit or melon slices.
