Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, whisking them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Wash and dice the tomato into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm and spread evenly across the pan's surface.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the heated skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften and release their natural juices.
- Pour the whisked eggs directly into the skillet with the tomatoes, using a spatula to gently fold and mix the ingredients.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly and folding the eggs to create soft, creamy curds, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, continuing to stir and cook until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking, transferring the scrambled eggs to serving plates.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by toast or your preferred breakfast side.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for the most even and creamy scramble
- Dice tomatoes uniformly to ensure consistent cooking and distribution
- Keep the heat at medium to prevent eggs from becoming rubbery
- Stir constantly but gently to create soft, fluffy egg curds
- Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly moist - they'll continue cooking from residual heat
- Fresh herbs can transform this simple dish, so don't skip the optional garnish
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and ensure easy cleanup
- For extra richness, you can add a small pat of butter along with the olive oil
- Avoid over-whisking eggs - just combine until they're uniformly mixed
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature
