Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • Bell peppers (red, green, and yellow)
  • 1 Onion medium
  • 1 Tomato large
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Start by prepping everything. Chop your onions, dice your green, red, and yellow bell peppers, and grate one large tomato. Once that’s done, beat your eggs in a separate bowl so they’re ready to go
  • Switch on your stove and heat up your cast-iron pan. You want it nice and hot before anything goes in.
  • Add your chopped onions first, then drop in butter so everything sautés gently without burning.
  • After a few minutes, add in your diced bell peppers. Let them cook for about five minutes until they soften and release all their lovely aroma and flavor.
  • Once the onions and peppers are soft, add the grated tomato and give everything a good stir.
  • Season the mixture with paprika, mixed herbs, and a bit of salt
  • Pour in your beaten eggs and stir gently so the eggs combine well with the gravy.
  • Switch off the stove, preheat your oven 180°C (or 350°F), and cover the pan with heavy-duty foil.
  • Slide the pan into the oven and let it bake for about five minutes. When it comes out looking like baked goodness, give it a little scramble so it becomes that perfect egg stew texture.
  • Your stewed eggs are ready to be served
