directions

  • I have never measured the exact amounts i use here, these are approximate, so just adjust it to your personal taste.
  • Spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray (or use butter if you prefer, it will taste better that way), and cook the onion until it is softened.
  • Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add eggs, and cook until just set.
  • Eggs should be red-orange.
  • Serve with pita bread.

  1. We didn't love the flavour, it was different for eggs to us, but it is fine. The texture of the eggs is really soft which I didn't like. I used whole canned plum tomatoes blended up to make a sauce, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, freshly ground coriander, plus the rest. Not a recipe I would make again.
     
  2. Very tasty but the tomato paste makes the texture of the eggs a little looser than usual. I would like some peppers mixed in with the eggs - even a Jalapeno though this may not be traditional I think it would taste excellent Thanks for posting Najwa I love to try new recipes.
     
  3. really enjoyed these. I was trying to recreate eggs I ate a lot in Greece, these are similar. I used two tomatoes chopped up fine, and half an onion, and three eggs. Very nice, will make again. Oh and I put in a small amount of cubed cheddar cheese.
     
  4. Super easy, fast, and delicious! Great take on scrambled eggs, requiring little additional effort. Thanks!
     
  5. I made these this morning for DH and me, and we both liked them. They were certainly different. I often make eggs, onion and cheese omeletes, but this had a different ethnic flavor to them, unlike the ones that I usually make. The spices and other ingredients certainly made this a totally different and interesting dish. I was out of tomato sauce so I subbed some diced tomatoes that I put thru the blender and which had a similar consistency and flavor as the tomato sauce would have had. I also put the frying pan under the broiler for a couple of minutes, which hastened setting the eggs. I do that with most of my omelets, especially with those with cheese, and the results are wonderful. Other than that, I followed the recipe. I would make this again, of course using the tomato sauce the next time.

Hi .. The pic is of my beautiful son, born on 2/5/2005. His name is Tariq, meaning Bright Star. As I type this, he is blowing bubbles in his water cup and watching cartoons. He whined to get this water for 15 mins and now he won't drink it, he will only play with it. Sigh.. A few days ago he came up with this song, so sing along to the tune of "Old McDonald" : Old McTariq Laq Laq Laq E I E I OOOOOO LOL I thought it was the cutest thing :-) When I'm not running around after my son, or cleaning up the mess he makes wherever he goes, I cook and bake (my husband loves the blueberry muffins I make) and I love trying new recipes .. I also love to read, and collect sci-fi/fantasy novels .. I have over 500 books and still counting ..
