Ingredients

Eggs:

  • 8 medium-sized free range eggs

Onion:

  • 100 grams (1 medium) onion minced

Tomatoes:

  • 350 grams (3 medium-sized) ripe tomatoes coarsely diced

Sweet Paprika:

  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika

Greek Sausage:

  • 140 grams (5 ounces) Greek sausage (Loukaniko) or use Italian instead

Cheese:

  • 50 grams (1.7 ounces) Gruyere, Kasseri, or other yellow cheese

Olive Oil:

  • As needed

To Serve With:

  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a splash of olive oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Add the sausage and brown on all sides. Toss the sausage in a mesh strainer to drain the oil.
  2. Saute the Onion: Keep the sausage aside, covered, and use the drained oil to saute the onion. If necessary, add a little more olive oil.
  3. Beat the Eggs: Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl and set aside.
  4. Saute the Onion: Saute the onion over medium-low heat until almost caramelized.
  5. Add Tomatoes and Paprika: Add the tomatoes, raise the heat to high, and cook until they drain their juices. Season them lightly with salt and add the paprika.
  6. Add Eggs: Add the eggs and stir to combine. Once they begin to set, take the pan off the heat.
  7. Stir in Cheese and Sausage: Stir in the cheese and sausage. Add the pan back on the heat and stir until eggs are fully set.
  8. Serve: Serve right away, sprinkled with freshly ground pepper and dried oregano if desired.
