Method 4 steps
In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, milk and pepper with a fork. Set aside.
In a medium 25 cm (10 inch) non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add mixed vegetables and cook for 2 to 3 minutes stirring often until tender. If vegetables release too much liquid, increase heat for the last minute until liquid evaporates.
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour egg mixture over the vegetables. Continue cooking, without stirring, for 3 minutes or until eggs start to set. Use a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon and gently push mixture towards the centre of the pan and fold over, forming large pieces.
Continue gently folding eggs until cooked through, about 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
