Servings: 1
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

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

  1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
  2. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced fresh basil to the eggs. Gently mix until evenly combined.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 5 seconds.
  5. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs continuously, allowing large, soft curds to form while keeping the eggs creamy.
  6. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the eggs are softly set but still moist.
  7. Transfer immediately to a serving plate and finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt.
  8. 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.
