Instructions
Creating Filipino Scrambled Eggs is a delightful and effortless process. Here’s how to do it:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and chop the onion and tomato.
2. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the fish sauce for a kick of flavor.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another minute or until they soften slightly.
5. Pour in the Eggs: Slowly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to flow over the vegetables.
6. Scramble the Eggs: Using a spatula, gently stir the mixture, scraping the bottom of the skillet until the eggs start to set but are still creamy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
7. Serve Warm: Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove them from the heat. Garnish with chopped scallions, if using, and serve immediately.
