Ingredients
  

For the Scramble
  • 4 large Eggs For a vegan version, swap with tofu seasoned with turmeric.
  • 1 medium Tomato, diced Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes offer the best taste.
  • 1/4 cup Onion, chopped Shallots can be used for a milder flavor.
  • 1 Jalapeño, diced (optional) Adjust quantity or omit for a milder taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro Parsley can be a substitute if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Butter Use coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative.
  • Salt and Pepper To taste.

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer or the butter to melt completely, which should take about 1 minute.
  2. Once the oil is ready, add 1/4 cup of chopped onion and the optional diced jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Next, stir in the diced tomato and continue cooking for about 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
  4. Now, crack 4 large eggs directly into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently scramble using a spatula, cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. As the eggs begin to set, season with salt and pepper. Stir just until the eggs are fully cooked but still fluffy.
  6. Before serving, fold in 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro into the scrambled eggs. Serve warm.
