This hearty and flavorful skillet recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or light dinner, delivering a delightful medley of textures and Mediterranean-inspired flavors.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 6 green peppers, chopped
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (for topping)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 5 oz feta, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare tomatoes: Score an X on the bottom of each tomato and drop them into boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove, peel off the skins, and chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sauté onion: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Cook peppers: Add the chopped green peppers to the skillet and sauté until they are softened but still retain slight crunch, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes and seasonings: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Continue cooking the mixture until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Cook eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Gently stir occasionally, cooking for a few minutes until the eggs are softly set but still creamy.
  6. Finish with feta and parsley: Fold in the crumbled feta cheese, sprinkle with chopped parsley on top, and remove from heat. Serve immediately, ideally with toasted bread.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs; they should be softly set for the best texture.
  • To speed up peeling, the tomatoes can be shocked in ice water immediately after boiling.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Vegetable oil can be substituted with olive oil for a richer taste.
  • Serve with crusty toasted bread to soak up the delicious juices.
