    • 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 1 1/2 cups diced fresh peppers
    • 🧅 1/4 cup onion, chopped

  • Spices

    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo chili flakes

STEPS

1

Melt butter in olive oil over medium-high heat. Add peppers, onions, and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and start to brown around the edges.

2

Stir in oregano, chili flakes, black pepper, and canned tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender.

3

Stir in half the cheese until it melts. Add the eggs, break the yolks with the tip of a spoon, and stir into the tomato mixture to achieve your desired texture.

4

Cover and cook on low heat until eggs are as set as you like. Turn off the heat and top with remaining cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and another shake of chili flakes. Garnish with cilantro.
