Greek Scrambled Eggs image

For a fresh and bright variation on your morning eggs, try strapatsatha, a simple Greek dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It's as simple as can be: The best, freshest tomatoes you can find are grated on a box grater and reduced a bit, then scrambled with eggs, a little olive oil and garlic. A handful of tangy feta crumbles finishes it off.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large, ripe, firm tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh or dried mint or oregano
4 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Greek kefalotyri or feta cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Lop off a dime-size piece of the base of the tomato using a sharp knife. Grate the tomato from the base along the coarse side of an upright hand grater.
  • In a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the garlic. Cook for a minute or so, careful not to burn. Add the tomatoes. Cook them until all their water has cooked off and all that's left is thick pulp, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the eggs and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Stir all together with a wooden spoon. Remove when the eggs are cooked to desired doneness, anywhere between 5 and 8 minutes.
  • Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with grated Greek kefalotyri cheese.
