Perico - Colombian Eggs with Tomatoes & Peppers

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• pinch salt

  plus more to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 scallions

  whites and light green portions, thinly sliced (see note)
• 2 medium bell peppers

  (any color) seeded and diced
• 2 medium tomatoes

  seeded and diced
• 2 cloves garlic

Instructions

• 1 Thoroughly whisk the eggs with a little salt. You want to whisk them quite well,
  as more air in the eggs makes for a fluffier, lighter end result.
• 2 Heat the oil in a over medium heat in a frying pan (non-stick or well-seasoned
  cast iron work well). Add the onions and bell peppers and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  Add the tomatoes and garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes, taking care
  to stir gently to avoid crushing the tomatoes.
• 3 Reduce the heat to medium/low. Season the vegetables in the pan with a pinch of
  salt (and pepper, if you like, though I leave it out). Pour the eggs over the
  vegetables and stir constantly, but gently. Once the eggs have just set (about 2
  minutes), remove everything from the pan and serve immediately - preferably with
  black beans, cheese, arepas, and hot chocolate!
