Preparation
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the sivri pepper, Charleston peppers, and red pointy peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add the fresh tomatoes and canned plum tomatoes and stir to incorporate. Sprinkle in the Aleppo pepper and season with salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 10 minutes, until the vegetables have softened and the tomato juices have reduced slightly.
- Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and stir them into the tomato mixture as you would for scrambled eggs. Cook for 2 minutes, until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft, or until cooked to your liking.
- Enjoy!
