Highlights

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Calories: 180kcal per serving

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon berbere spice blend (available at specialty stores)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small green chili, seeded and minced (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spices: In a small bowl, mix together the tomato paste and berbere spice blend until well combined.

  2. Cook Aromatics: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and green chili (if using), cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the spice mixture into the skillet with onions, stirring to coat evenly. Reduce the heat to low.

  4. Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour the beaten eggs over the spiced onion mixture in the pan. Allow them to sit for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges towards the center until just set.

  5. Finish Cooking: Continue cooking on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and tender, about 3-4 minutes more.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve hot over warm injera for an authentic Ethiopian breakfast experience.
