Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 long green peppers, chopped
- 3 ripe tomatoes, grated or finely chopped
- 1 tsp mild pepper paste (optional)
- 4 eggs
- 50 g white cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Salt and sweet pepper flakes
Method
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and soften the peppers for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and pepper paste. Cook for about 8 minutes, until most of the liquid has gone.
Add the eggs and stir gently, just until they set into soft curds. Take the pan off the heat while they still look a little wet.
Scatter over the cheese and a pinch of pepper flakes. Serve with bread.
