  • ½ cup 4ozdiced bacon

Instructions
 

  • Heat the butter and the oil in a frying pan.
  • Cook the bacon, green peppers, and onion over medium heat until soft.
  • Add the garlic and tomatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Raise the heat and with a fork, crush the tomatoes and this will evaporate the juices.
  • When the vegetables are cooked, add the four well-beaten eggs to the pan.
  • Immediately mix a fork until the eggs are sufficiently scrambled.
  • Serve your La Piperade immediately.
  • You can omit the bacon if you prefer but it does give a wonderful flavor. 
  • Red peppers may be used but I think the green ones look beautiful with the red of the tomatoes.
