I tried this recipe and it was great. I fixed the tomato water problem. I had a hand colander and gently slide it into the colander. Once the water dripped through slide it back on the skillet. Reduced the water issue by a great deal.
Just tried it. Didn't have the fresh basil or Feta cheese but had some blended cheese and the tomatoes. Came out tasting great and the time to cook helped me not overcook them.
Made it just like the recipe! Excellent. I will probably cut the tomatoes in half next time but loved it
I tried this recipe two days in a row. The first day I forgot to add the feta tomatoes and basil until after the eggs were cooked. Still turned out delicious! The second day I only had canned tomatoes which turned the eggs a shade of red...still delicious. This will continue to be a staple to change up the breakfast food routine. Thank you!!!
so simple and delicious! I substituted pecorino romano cheese because I don't like feta. Definitely needed to add more than I did, but that was my choice. Also used roma tomatoes because that's what I had. A new staple breakfast food! Three eggs is a LOT for one person, so next time I'll use two.
Personally prefer the sheep's milk feta from Bulgaria. Get it at an ethnic store. If they don't have the Bulgarian then Feta from Komotini, Greece or Dodonis, Greece is just as good. Maybe even better. I've been doing this a long time but have used Oregano instead of Sweet Basile. Yes I said Oregano. Fresh is much better. But most folks prefer Sweet Basile. If I don't have fresh tomatoes I use canned. Still has lots of flavor. Black Pepper is a good alternative to red pepper flakes if you don't care for the heat.
I have been making this for years, I use whatever cheese I have in the frig, but feta makes it special. It is also really good w/fresh oregano. Cherry tomatoes are excellent, but any chopped tomato works as long as it is fresh.
This is an outstanding and simple breakfast. Stirred mine just like Chef John.
Excelente! Used Roma tomatoes, PARMASAN cheese, basil & red pepper flakes. Enjoyed by all!
This one missed the mark for me. The tomatoes were too watery. The feta did not add enough salt or flavor. It was very average.
