Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 whole, finely chopped small onion
- 2 whole, minced garlic cloves
- 4 whole, diced ripe tomatoes
- 0.25 cup water
- 10 leaves, chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 whole, large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup, crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet followed by 0.25 cup of water. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the tomato mixture simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the chopped basil, oregano, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, then remove the sauce from heat and set aside.
In a separate large non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with 0.5 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until they begin to set but are still creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
Serve the scrambled eggs topped with the warm tomato sauce and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired and enjoy.
