Caprese Breakfast Scramble

Serves 6

Ingredients

12 eggs
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 red chilli
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp butter
Large handful basil leaves
Tbsp olive oil
1 medium sized ball mozzarella

Method
Quarter cherry tomatoes and finely dice garlic and place in a large, low heat pan with half the butter. Stir for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk until white and yolks and combined. Increase the heat of the pan to medium hot and put remaining butter in the pan and tilt the pan so it’s coating any areas that need it. Pour in the eggs. Use a spatula to push the egg around the pan. Continue doing this until all the egg is cooked. If there are runny raw bits, use the spatula to make gaps in the egg and pour these bits onto the hot pan. Remove pan from the heat when the eggs are 99% done. Slice the mozzarella and place on top of the eggs. Roll the basil leaves into a ball in your hand and slice up. Finely dice the chilli and sprinkle both the basil and the chilli on top, basil first. Finally, drizzle the olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper.
