Servings: 4
Calories: 258kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1/2 cup yellow onion diced, 1 small onion
- 1 yellow bell pepper diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved or 1 large tomato, diced
- salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or hot paprika
- 10 eggs beaten, with a generous pinch of salt added
- chives for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the tomatoes, oregano, and Aleppo pepper. Cook until the tomatoes are soft, another 5-10 minutes. Season with a bit of salt.
- Pour in whisked eggs and stir occasionally. Cook until the eggs are still a bit wet but almost set (they will continue cooking off heat). Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with chives before serving.
