  1. 1

    Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

    Add chopped onion and green pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add chopped tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and formed a sauce.

    Gently scramble the eggs into the tomato mixture until cooked to your liking. Avoid overcooking.

    Serve immediately, often with crusty bread.
