Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of water. This will make the eggs lighter and fluffier while reducing the need for extra fats.

Step 2

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set them aside.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and swirl it around to evenly coat the pan.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly and release some of their juices.

Step 5

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the tomatoes. Use a heat-resistant spatula to gently stir and fold the mixture from the edges toward the center, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.

Step 6

When the eggs are just about set but still slightly moist, remove the skillet from the heat. Cooking the eggs gently will keep them soft and creamy.

Step 7

Season the scrambled eggs and tomatoes with black pepper and (if desired) a teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce for added flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the tomato egg mixture to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with whole-grain toast or fresh greens for a complete, heart-healthy meal.
