 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       tb           Butter or margarine
  2       tb           Onion, finely chopped
  2       tb           Green pepper, finely chopped
  6                    Eggs -- beaten
    1/3   c            Milk
    1/4   ts           Salt
    1/8   ts           Pepper
  6                    English muffin halves
  1       tb           Butter or margarine
  6       sl           American cheese (1 oz. each)
                       -- (pasteurized process)

 Melt 1 tablespoon fat in a large frypan.  Add onion
 and green pepper. Cook until tender.  Mix eggs, milk,
 salt, and pepper.  Pour over onion and green pepper.

 Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally to let
 uncooked portion flow beneath cooked portion.
 Continue cooking until eggs are set but still moist.
 Divide into 6 portions.

 Spread toasted muffin halves with 1 tablespoon butter
 or margarine. Top muffin halves with egg mixture and a
 slice of cheese.  Broil until cheese is melted and
 lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

 NOTE: For this recipe, use only clean eggs with no
 cracks in shells.

 [Karen adds: Because of the risk of salmonella
 poisoning, it's been widely recommended that children,
 the elderly, and immuno-compromised persons avoid
 consuming any raw or undercooked eggs.]
