Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon optional red chili flakes
Instructions
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the egg mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the tomatoes, stirring gently to combine.
Continue to cook, stirring slowly, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should remain soft and slightly runny.
Season with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves torn into smaller pieces.
Serve hot and enjoy this wholesome Paleo meal!
