Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon optional red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the egg mixture.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Step 7
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the tomatoes, stirring gently to combine.
Step 8
Continue to cook, stirring slowly, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should remain soft and slightly runny.
Step 9
Season with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and optional red chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Step 10
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves torn into smaller pieces.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy this wholesome Paleo meal!
