Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 9 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon very thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced basil to the eggs. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and allow it to sit undisturbed for about 5 seconds.
  5. Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs continuously until they are softly scrambled and just set, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.
  7. Serve immediately with toasted bread if desired.

Chefs Notes

  • Goat milk feta cheese adds exceptional tangy flavor and creamy texture to this recipe.
  • For softer scrambled eggs, remove them from the skillet while they still appear slightly glossy, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
  • Add extra fresh basil just before serving for a brighter herbal finish.
  • Serve with crusty artisan bread, sourdough toast, or a toasted baguette to soak up the flavorful tomato juices.
  • A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil over the finished eggs can add even more richness and flavor.
