Simple 5:2 Recipes. Basque Scrambled Egg

249 cals per serving

I really like this way of making scrambled eggs a little bit more special. 

This is very tasty and filling and is equally good for breakfast or lunch.

Serves 1 Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes

1 tsp olive oil

½ onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, sliced

1 red pepper, de-seeded and diced

½ tin tomatoes, chopped

1 large egg

1 egg white

3 fresh basil leaves if you have them

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onions, garlic and peppers. Fry them gently on a medium heat for 8 minutes, until golden. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the egg and egg white and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the frying pan with the other ingredients, stirring constantly until they thicken like scrambled eggs — about 3 minutes. Serve with basil on the top.
