🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 6 large eggs
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat the butter or olive oil in a tagine or large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
2. Add the diced tomato, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook on low heat until the tomatoes soften and release their juices (about 3–4 minutes).
3. Gently crack the eggs directly over the tomato mixture. Cover and cook on low heat for about 2 minutes, or until the egg whites begin to set.
4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese and remaining black pepper over the eggs. Cover again and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs reach your desired doneness.
5. Serve immediately with fresh bread, pita, or toast. Enjoy!

💡 Pro Tips for Success

• Cook on low heat to keep the eggs soft and prevent the bottom from burning.
• Use ripe tomatoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
• Add fresh chili or chili flakes if you prefer it spicy.
• Don’t overcook — the eggs should have runny yolks for the best taste.

🔄 Variations

• Add chopped bell peppers or spinach for extra vegetables.
• Use feta cheese instead of mozzarella for a tangy twist.
• Make it heartier by adding diced smoked turkey or sausage.
• Serve with avocado slices on the side for a modern touch.

This simple yet flavorful Eggs Tagine with Tomatoes and Cheese is the perfect quick breakfast or brunch idea. Rich, comforting, and ready in minutes — a delicious way to start your day!
