Huevos Pericos (Colombian Scrambled Eggs)

Ingredients

  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp La Favorita Margarine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 eggs

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of La Favorita Margarine.
  2. Once the margarine has melted, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and lightly golden.
  3. Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until softened.
  4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once the tomato is cooked, pour the beaten eggs over the tomato and onion mixture in the skillet.
  6. Cook the eggs, stirring gently with a spatula, until they are scrambled and set but still moist.
  7. Before taking the skillet off the heat, add the chopped fresh cilantro and mix well.
  8. Serve the Huevos Pericos hot with arepas, bread, or tortillas — and enjoy this delicious, comforting breakfast!
