Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, finely minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams, crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh basil
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper

Directions
Step 1
1. Start by prepping your ingredients. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the tomatoes using a box grater (discarding the skins). Alternatively, you can blend the tomatoes to create a puree.
Step 2
2. In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
3. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
4. Stir in the grated or pureed tomatoes along with the sugar. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
Step 5
5. While the sauce simmers, crack the eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk with a fork. Season with a small pinch of salt.
Step 6
6. Once the tomato sauce has thickened, lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Gently stir the mixture in a folding motion, allowing the eggs to cook while incorporating them into the sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still soft and creamy.
Step 7
7. Turn off the heat and crumble the feta cheese over the eggs. Sprinkle with dried oregano and, if desired, fresh basil for added flavor.
Step 8
8. Serve the Strapatsada hot with slices of crusty bread or toast for dipping. Enjoy!
