Recipe guide

Ready in 15 minutes with pantry staples.

Make in about 15 minutes with basic ingredients.
Cook onions first, then tomatoes, then add eggs for best texture.
Finish gently off heat for creamy, tender curds.

Ingredients (serves 2)

3 large eggs, 2 tbsp milk, 1 medium onion (thinly sliced), 2 medium tomatoes (diced), 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Quick method

Prep: whisk eggs with milk and season; slice onion and dice tomatoes. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Sauté onion 4–5 minutes until translucent, add tomatoes and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Pour eggs into skillet and gently fold until curds form and eggs are just set. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Tips, variations and serving

For creamier eggs use a splash more milk or a knob of butter off heat. Add chopped herbs (cilantro, parsley) or shredded cheese at the end. Serve with toast, rice, or in a wrap. To keep eggs fluffy, avoid overcooking.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead? Scrambled eggs are best fresh; you can refrigerate cooked eggs up to 2 days and gently reheat over low heat with a splash of milk.

What can I substitute for milk? Use water, a splash of cream, or a dairy-free milk; milk mainly lightens texture, so it's optional.

Can I use other vegetables or spices? Yes—spinach, bell pepper, or mushrooms work well; add spices like cumin, paprika, or chili flakes for more flavor.
