Customize with herbs, cheese, or butter

Ingredients & prep (5 minutes)

Gather 3 large eggs, 1 medium onion (thinly sliced), 2 medium tomatoes (chopped), 2 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, pinch of salt and pepper, and beat until combined. Chop onion and tomatoes while pan heats.

Step-by-step cooking (10 minutes)

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium. Sauté sliced onion 3–4 minutes until softened. Add chopped tomatoes and cook 2 minutes to loosen juices. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in beaten eggs, let set briefly, then gently stir and fold until softly scrambled (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from heat while slightly underdone—the residual heat finishes them.

Tips, substitutions & serving

For creamier eggs use cream or extra milk. Swap olive oil for butter for richness. Add chopped herbs (parsley or chives), grated cheese, or a pinch of chili flakes. Serve with toast or over rice. Cook on moderate heat to avoid rubbery eggs.

FAQs

Can I make this without milk? Yes—omit milk or use a splash of water; eggs will be slightly less creamy but still fine.

How long do leftovers keep? Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.

Can I prep ingredients ahead? Chop onions and tomatoes ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours; beat eggs just before cooking for best texture.
