Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 9 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (preferably goat’s milk feta)
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced fresh basil to the eggs. Gently mix until evenly combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat until it begins to shimmer.
- Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 5 seconds.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs continuously, allowing large, soft curds to form while keeping the eggs creamy.
- Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the eggs are softly set but still moist.
- Transfer immediately to a serving plate and finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt.
- Serve immediately with toasted sourdough, rustic bread, or buttered toast to soak up the flavorful tomato juices.
Chef’s Notes
- Goat’s milk feta provides a creamier texture and tangier flavor than traditional cow’s milk feta.
- Do not overcook the eggs—they’ll continue cooking slightly after they’re removed from the skillet.
- Add sliced avocado or smoked salmon for an even more satisfying breakfast.
- Freshly cracked black pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil make excellent finishing touches.
- This recipe doubles easily if you’re serving two people—just use a slightly larger skillet.
