Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium, diced tomato
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) cilantro
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add salt and black pepper, then beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until fully combined.
Dice the tomato into small pieces and finely chop the green onions. If using cilantro, roughly chop it as well.
Heat a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely and coat the pan.
Add the diced tomato and chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato softens and releases its juices, and the green onions become fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and gently pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables. Allow the eggs to cook for about 1 minute without stirring.
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs and vegetables together, making sure not to over-stir. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still soft and slightly creamy.
If using cilantro, sprinkle it over the eggs and give a final gentle stir.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Colombian eggs immediately. They pair well with arepas, toast, or warm tortillas.
