Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ripe tomatoes
  • ¼ cup finely chopped scallions from 2 medium
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon peeled minced ginger
  • 1 garlic clove grated or minced
  • 5 large eggs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Cheddar optional
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium avocado optional
  • Toasted crusty bread for serving

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Tomatoes
  • Begin by cutting the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and placing them, along with their juices, into a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped scallions, toasted sesame oil, agave syrup or honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Toss the ingredients together to combine. Set the mixture aside to marinate while you prepare the eggs, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes or overnight for a more intense flavor infusion.
  • Prepare the Scrambled Eggs
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded Cheddar (if using), and a generous pinch of salt until frothy. Break the yolks with a fork and ensure the mixture is well combined.
  • Cook the Eggs
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan. Once the butter is melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them across the pan until soft curds form. For larger curds, stir less frequently. Continue cooking until the eggs are set but still glossy, approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a serving platter.
  • Assemble and Serve
  • Pit and cube the avocado (if desired) and mix it into the marinated tomatoes. Spoon the tomato mixture and its juices over the scrambled eggs. Serve the eggs and marinated tomatoes on slices of crusty toasted bread for a delicious and satisfying dish.
