• 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 5 leaves fresh oregano leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Step 1

Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.

Step 2

Tear the basil and oregano leaves into smaller pieces. Set aside.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into the skillet one by one, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the eggs and tomatoes.

Step 7

Cook the eggs for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. For slightly runny yolks, aim for 3 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve immediately, alongside whole-grain bread or a side salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
