Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 lb vine tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 oz fresh basil(optional)

Method

  1. Grate the tomatoes on the coarse side of a box grater and discard the skins.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and add the grated tomato with the oregano and salt.

  3. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, until the water has gone and the tomato is thick and glossy. This step is the whole dish, so do not rush it.

  4. Beat the eggs and pour them in, stirring gently until they set in soft folds, about 2 minutes.

  5. Take the pan off the heat and crumble the feta over while the eggs are still warm enough to soften it.

  6. Finish with black pepper and torn basil.
