Heat half the oil in a 12-inch (30 cm), nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the green peppers and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a plate; reserve.
Whisk the eggs with the basil and oregano. Brush the remaining oil over the pan; pour the egg mixture into the same skillet. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes or until almost set.

Learn MoreTips: Whipping
Room temperature whites are easier to whip and achieve greater volume. If your whites are refrigerator cold (best for separating), you can warm the whites in the microwave. Place in a bowl and microwave uncovered for about 30 seconds at 30 percent power. Another option would be to hold the eggs, before cracking, under a stream of warm water to take off the chill.
