Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Fat
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 scallions, diced
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper according to taste, and whisk them thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes and scallions, cooking them while stirring occasionally until they become soft and fragrant, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the softened vegetables. Stir frequently to scramble the eggs evenly, cooking them until they reach your preferred level of doneness, usually about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or fresh cilantro to the eggs while cooking.
- You can substitute scallions with finely chopped onions if preferred.
- Serve Huevos Pericos with warm arepas or crusty bread for a traditional Colombian breakfast experience.
- Adjust cooking time depending on whether you like your eggs softer or more well-cooked.
