Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon sazon
  • ½ Roma tomato diced
  • 1 scallion finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sazon for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and scallions, season with salt and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the eggs to the skillet and allow them to cook for a few seconds without stirring. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the skillet producing curds of scrambled eggs.
  • Stir and fold the eggs every few seconds. I cooked them for 2-3 minutes.
  • Season with salt right before serving and enjoy!

Notes

  • Although I added a pinch of sazon, I still seasoned the eggs with kosher salt right before serving. Make sure to season to taste.
  • Don't overcook the eggs or break them up too much!
  • Beat the eggs and sazon rigorously for a few minutes before adding it to the skillet.
  • Feel free to serve it with hot sauce for extra flavor.
