Preparation

Preheat the oven broiler.

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onions, green peppers and mushrooms.

Cook for 2 to 3 min. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk, pasta, Cheddar cheese, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet and let cook until the eggs are almost set and the bottom is browned (5 to 10 min).

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and put the skillet under the broiler at medium heat until the top is browned. Slice and serve.
