Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Now, let’s get all the ingredients ready to make this delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes! We’ll enhance the flavor with fresh ingredients.
Step 2
First, it’s important to wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Fill a bowl with plenty of water and add 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Soaking the cherry tomatoes in this vinegar solution for 1-2 minutes is effective in removing pesticides and impurities. After washing, rinse them again under running water and drain completely in a colander. If there’s excess water, the dish might turn out mushy when cooked.
Step 3
Wash the baby greens thoroughly as well. Gently rinse them under running water, then place them in a colander and shake off excess water. Fresh greens will significantly enhance the dish’s aroma and taste.
Step 4
Cut the prepared cherry tomatoes in half after removing the stems. Finely slice the green onions, focusing on the white parts. Slicing them this way will bring out more flavor when sautéed.
Step 5
Crack 5 fresh eggs into a large bowl. If the bowl is too small, it might be inconvenient when whisking the eggs or mixing ingredients, so using a sufficiently large bowl is recommended.
Step 6
It’s time to season the egg mixture! Add 1 tablespoon of mirin (or cooking sake), 1 tablespoon of tsuyu, and a pinch of black pepper. Using tsuyu allows you to achieve a deep, savory flavor without additional seasoning. Whisk everything together thoroughly with a whisk until well combined. You can use chopsticks, but a whisk will yield a much smoother texture.
Step 7
Now for the actual cooking! Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the sliced green onions for 2 minutes to release their aroma. Once the sweet fragrance of the green onions rises, add the cherry tomatoes and 2 pinches of salt, and stir-fry for about 1 minute. The key is to cook them just enough without making them too mushy.
Step 8
Transfer the stir-fried tomatoes to a separate bowl for now. Setting them aside prevents them from breaking apart when mixed with the eggs later, helping to preserve the texture of each ingredient.
Step 9
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the egg mixture and place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top. As the cheese melts, it will combine with the eggs, creating a richer flavor. Turn off the heat when the eggs are slightly undercooked; the residual heat will finish cooking them, resulting in moist and tender scrambled eggs. Overcooking can make them dry, so be careful.
Step 10
Gently mix the pre-stir-fried tomatoes into the softly cooked scrambled eggs. It’s important to mix gently to avoid breaking the tomatoes. The warm tomatoes and soft scrambled eggs will create a fantastic harmony.
Step 11
Transfer the finished scrambled eggs with tomatoes to a nice plate. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes on top for a visually appealing and aromatic finish, completing this wonderful dish.
Step 12
These delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes are wonderful on their own, but they become even more special when served on a bread or toast! I personally loved serving them piled inside a soft sourdough bun with baby greens. Enjoy this dish in your own delicious way! Enjoy your cooking!
