Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of water. This will make the eggs lighter and fluffier while reducing the need for extra fats.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and swirl it around to evenly coat the pan.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly and release some of their juices.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the tomatoes. Use a heat-resistant spatula to gently stir and fold the mixture from the edges toward the center, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.
When the eggs are just about set but still slightly moist, remove the skillet from the heat. Cooking the eggs gently will keep them soft and creamy.
Season the scrambled eggs and tomatoes with black pepper and (if desired) a teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce for added flavor.
Transfer the tomato egg mixture to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with whole-grain toast or fresh greens for a complete, heart-healthy meal.
