Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 whole ripe tomatoes
- 10 pieces fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on two plates. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
Rinse the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry. Tear the leaves into smaller pieces if they are large.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the pan.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for 20-30 seconds, then use a silicone spatula to gently stir and scrape the eggs from the edges to the center.
Continue gently stirring and folding the eggs until they are soft and slightly set but still creamy. Remove the pan from the heat as they will continue to cook slightly off the heat.
Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the sliced tomatoes.
Garnish each plate with the torn basil leaves and serve immediately.
