Spanish Tomato & Egg Scramble | A Traditional Egg Dish from Murcia

Spain is known for making some great egg dishes, and this Spanish Tomato & Egg Scramble ranks right up there with the best of them. It´s basically made by making a simple homemade tomato sauce, adding some whisked eggs into the sauce and mixing it all together.

Spanish Tomato & Egg Scramble
This dish hails from the Region of Murcia, where it ´s known as Revuelto de Tomate Murciano. It´s super easy to make, packs a ton of great flavors and comes together in about 30 minutes. Perfect for a weekend breakfast next to some Spanish potatoes.

Spanish Tomato & Egg Scramble
To make this recipe, I grated fresh tomatoes to make the tomato sauce. But you can totally use canned tomato sauce instead. I also used cage-free organic eggs, but once again, you can use any type of eggs you like. However, the higher the quality of the ingredients, the better this dish will taste.

Spanish Tomato & Egg Scramble
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Once the tomato sauce is done and you add the eggs into the sauce, make sure to mix the ingredients gently and not vigorously. In my pan on a medium heat it took about 3 1/2 minutes to get the eggs perfectly cooked. Make sure not to overcook them. Otherwise they get a rubbery texture.

    Would you recommend to grate tomatoes when they’re in season then freeze them for later use?
