SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TOMATOES



SCRAMBLED EGGS
Scrambled Eggs is a Dish made from beaten eggs. A little oil or butter is heated in a pan over medium heat and the beaten eggs are poured into the hot pan and stirred frequently as they coagulate till just small bits are obtained. For savoury  Scrambled Eggs, chopped onions, green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms etc are first fried in the oil or butter then the beaten eggs are poured into the pan and scrambled.
This recipe for Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, is from my new Recipe Book SIMPLE EGG DELICACIES which will be launched shortly
