Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 medium, diced ripe tomatoes
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) parsley
- 2 pieces (for serving, optional) pita bread
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the finely chopped onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with the salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
Create a small well in the center of the tomato mixture in the skillet, and pour the whisked eggs into the well.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir and fold them into the tomato mixture. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top, if using.
Serve immediately with fresh pita bread or enjoy as is!
