Ingredients

  • Eggs4 pcs
  • Red onion0.5 pcs
  • Tomatoes1 pc
  • Red bell pepper0.5 pcs
  • Butter20 g
  • Milk2 tbsp
  • Salt1 pinch
  • Pepper1 pinch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely chop half a red onion. Dice 1 tomato and half a pepper into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Heat 20 g of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add the half pepper and sauté 2 more minutes. Then add the tomato and sauté 1 minute.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, beat 4 eggs with 2 tablespoons of milk, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Pour over vegetables in the pan.

    Tip: Adding a little milk to eggs gives a fluffier texture.

  5. 5

    Reduce heat to low. Gently stir with a spatula until eggs set - about 3 minutes. Do not overcook.

    Tip: Stop cooking slightly before you think they are done - residual heat will finish them.

Cooking methods

On the stove

Use a small non-stick pan on medium-low heat. Gas gives quick flame reduction when eggs start to set - crucial for soft, creamy eggs. The pan should feel warm, not hot, when you add the egg mixture.

On induction

Induction excels here. Set to level 3–4 for gentle, precise heat. The rapid response prevents overcooking - switch off 30 seconds before done; residual heat finishes perfectly. Never go above level 5 for scrambled eggs.

Over an open fire

Use a small cast iron pan over dying embers or ash-covered coals - not open flame. The gentle diffuse heat of coals is ideal for soft eggs. Move the pan immediately off heat as soon as the eggs begin to set.
