Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a simple and delicious dish that combines the creaminess of eggs with the freshness of tomatoes. It is popular in the Chilean countryside. 

Traditional in summer evenings, it is always made with ripe tomatoes. Last March in Chile, we ate a big skillet made with tomatoes, free-range eggs, and pan amasado (Chilean Country Bread), which was pure bliss.

Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, Chilean recipe

I don't recommend doing this in winter when the tomatoes are not in season. Follow the instructions because it is imperative to let the juices evaporate before adding the eggs. Otherwise, the texture gets all wrong: soupy.

In Chile, this can be an everyday dinner. It is loved by all and served with homemade bread or bread from the bakery.

Another popular Chilean scrambled egg is Huevos revueltos con cebolla (Onion Scrambled eggs). Or try adding cheese.

    Thanks so much for this recipe. I had an abundance of tomatoes from my garden and was looking for a way to use them up. I actually made this for breakfast and added a little bit of onion but the flavor was excellent. Now will have to try this for dinner.

    Thank you for the tomato and eggs recipe. Being vegan we substituted the eggs with Just Eggs. I wanted my wife to try a traditional Chilean breakfast and she loved it. It reminds me of the fond memories having breakfast with family in Chile.
