Ingredients

• 4 Eggs
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• 3 Spring onion, finely chopped
• ½ red or green bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 Tomato, deseeded and diced
• Salt
• Black pepper

Method

1. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the spring onions and pepper (if using) and cook for 3 min, until soft.
2. Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt and cook for 4–5 min, until they collapse into a loose sauce.
3. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, pour them in and lower the heat. Stir gently for 2 min, until softly set but still glossy.
4. Serve at once with arepas, toast or white cheese, and a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.

Tips

• Take the pan off the heat a moment before the eggs look done; they keep cooking on the plate.
• Use oil instead of butter to make it dairy-free.
