Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra-virgin recommended
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced, any color
  • 0.5 medium red onion finely sliced
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 tsp hot sauce or lemon juice optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Rinse and prep your vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the bell peppers into small even pieces, and finely slice the red onion. Having everything ready before you turn on the heat makes the cooking process smooth.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute until it shimmers. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and brightened in color.
  4. Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 to 1.5 minutes until warmed through and just starting to release their juices. They should hold their shape.
  5. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and black pepper, and beat vigorously until uniform and slightly frothy. For best results, let eggs sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs over the sauteed vegetables. Reduce heat to low and gently stir with a spatula every few seconds for 2 to 3 minutes until just set but still slightly soft. Pull them off the heat while they still look slightly underdone as they continue cooking from residual heat.
  7. Remove from heat. Crumble feta on top, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and drizzle with hot sauce or lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let eggs rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking for a fluffier scramble. Keep heat low after adding eggs to avoid rubbery texture. Vegetables can be prepped up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
