SCRUMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATO AND CHEESE- STRAPATSADA
Steps:
- Beat the eggs gently and add the milk. Heat the oil in a pan and place the chopped tomatoes with the pinch of sugar. Cook at moderate temperature for 10 minutes or until there is no liquid left. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour the eggs in. Stir the ingredients together in constant motion. When curds start to form, add the cheese. The curds should be soft and the end product creamy. Enjoy it with bread and a green salad.
Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can substitute canned tomatoes.
- Use good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in strapatsada, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is firm and crumbly, with a salty, tangy flavor.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in strapatsada should be cooked until they are just set, but still a little runny. If you overcook the eggs, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve strapatsada with warm pita bread: Strapatsada is traditionally served with warm pita bread, which is used to scoop up the eggs and tomatoes. You can also serve strapatsada with other bread, such as toast or crackers.
- Add other ingredients to your liking: Strapatsada is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. You can add other ingredients to the dish, such as onions, peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
Conclusion:
Strapatsada is a delicious and easy-to-make Greek dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and feta cheese. Strapatsada can be served with warm pita bread, toast, crackers, or other bread of your choice. It is also a great dish to serve at a brunch or potluck.
