Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 1 small, diced green bell pepper
- 4 medium, finely chopped tomatoes
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the diced green bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes until slightly tender.
Step 4
Add the chopped tomatoes and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to release their juices. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Season the mixture with sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are combined.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs start to set for a few seconds, then gently stir and fold them into the tomato mixture. Cook until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately on its own or with a side of roasted vegetables or salad for a hearty Whole30-approved meal.
