Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil This healthy fat adds richness and helps to sauté the vegetables.
  • 1 cup diced tomato Fresh tomatoes lend a burst of juiciness and acidity.
  • 1 bell pepper cut into small cubes
  • 1 large red onion cut into small cubes
  • 8 medium eggs The star of the show, providing protein and creaminess.
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste; enhances all the flavors in the dish.
  • ½ teaspoon pepper freshly cracked or ground, or more, to taste; adds a kick of spice.
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley (optional) for garnish and a fresh finish.

Instructions

  • Start by washing and chopping your bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced red onion and bell pepper. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly and release their juices. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • In a mixing bowl, crack all 8 eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  • Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Reduce the heat to low. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, scraping the edges of the skillet to ensure even cooking. Cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are cooked to your preference, remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, sprinkle with minced parsley for a touch of freshness. Serve immediately, either on their own or alongside your favorite sides.
