Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper (Anaheim or Holland peppers will work as well), cored, seeded and chopped
- kosher salt
- 2 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, more for later
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- crushed red pepper flakes, optional if you like spicy
- 1 French Baguette for serving thickly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- In a 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers and season with kosher salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened (being careful not to brown the onions).
- Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with a little more kosher salt, black pepper, oregano, and Aleppo pepper. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften but still hold their shape (5 to 7 minutes).
- Push the tomato and pepper mixture to one side of the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the beaten egg, and cook briefly, stirring gently as needed, until the eggs are just set. Fold the tomato mixture into the eggs.
- Finish with a little EVOO and more Aleppo pepper and crushed red pepper flakes, if you need a little kick. Serve immediately with thick slices of bread.
