My Great Grandmother's cheese egg and tomato recipe was a regular Sunday evening supper for me when I was a child. This is my version and I always remember her, and my Grandma, when I make it. My Grandma used to make large quantities and then use the cold leftovers as a sandwich filler the next day. The original recipe didn't use herbs or onion - just butter, tomatoes, cheese and eggs beaten with a little milk, in that order. It is delicious like that too, but I like this even better. Makes a great hearty weekend breakfast or light supper.

Steps

5 mins

1

Get the ingredients together. Chop the tomatoes, grate the cheese, chop the fresh cilantro.
2

Melt some butter in a frying pan and add the chopped onions. Fry for a few minutes until soft. Add a pinch of salt.
3

Add the chopped tomatoes and continue to fry and stir over a moderate heat until the tomatoes become soft
4

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the grated cheese. It will melt gently.
5

Beat the eggs with a fork and add lots of freshly ground black pepper
6

Heat up the pan again and add the eggs. Stir over a low heat until the eggs become scrambled
7

When they are scrambled to your taste, add the fresh coriander, stir and serve.
8

My Grandma used to serve them over a hot buttered piece of toast. I tend to leave the bread out and add a little freshness instead.

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
