Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 fresh green chili (e.g., jalapeño or serrano)
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small tomato, diced

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly fluffy.

Step 2

Finely dice the fresh green chili, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Set aside.

Step 3

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced chili to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the red chili flakes and diced tomato. Cook for another minute to slightly soften the tomato and incorporate the spices.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to set slightly.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet as you go. Continue to cook, folding occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the eggs. Gently fold one last time to distribute the cilantro evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately on warm plates with your choice of toast, avocado slices, or a side salad for a complete meal.
