Scrambled Eggs with Tomato Chile and Cilantro I love this scrambled egg variation, which I first tasted in a restaurant looking out over Mexico City. It’s full of protein (from the eggs) and antioxidants (from the cilantro), and is a great way to start the day. Of course, you can omit the chile for children; the cilantro still makes it special.
Ingredients
1 tbsp butter
1 ripe tomato, finely chopped
1/2–1 chile, deseeded and finely chopped (optional for children)
4 free-range eggs, best quality possible
3 tbsp milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the tomato and chile and cook for a few minutes until the tomato is just softening.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add to the saucepan and stir gently until the egg is softly scrambled.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve.
