Instructions

1. 1

   Dice peppers and tomatoes, retaining tomato juices. Beat the eggs lightly in a clean bowl.

2. 2

   Heat all oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Soften peppers for 5–6 minutes, then add tomatoes, paprika, pepper and salt. Simmer uncovered 10–12 minutes until thick but still moist.

3. 3

   Reduce heat, add eggs and fold gently for about 3–5 minutes until set with no liquid egg remaining; egg dishes should reach 71°C. Do not overcook until dry.

4. 4

   Divide the entire pan into two equal portions. Count bread, cheese or additional oil separately.
