Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 2 sprays non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil
- 0.5 medium onion
Instructions
Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced tomatoes to the saucepan and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
Season the tomato mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped fresh basil and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add skim milk, half a teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Spray a non-stick skillet with two sprays of the cooking spray and place over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow eggs to set slightly before stirring gently with a spatula.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are fully set but still moist, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and serve immediately with the fresh tomato sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
