Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper (or Anaheim/Holland pepper), chopped
Kosher salt, to taste
2 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
Black pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (more to taste)
4 large eggs, beaten
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Thickly sliced French baguette or country-style bread, for serving
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with more salt, black pepper, oregano, and Aleppo pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tomatoes are soft but intact.
- Push the tomato-pepper mixture to one side of the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the beaten eggs on the other side.
- Gently cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until just set and still moist.
- Fold the tomato mixture into the eggs. Stir gently to combine, then remove from heat immediately.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Aleppo or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread.
Notes
- Add crumbled feta or cream cheese for a richer texture.
- Use red or yellow bell peppers instead of green for a sweeter taste.
- Try harissa or more red pepper flakes for added heat.
- Top with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
- To make ahead, prep the tomato-pepper base and add eggs when ready to serve.
