Step 1:

How do you make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cheese? Start by prepping your ingredients. Use as many tomatoes as you like — if they're medium-sized, 1-2 will be plenty; if they're small like mine, use a few more. Wash the tomatoes and slice them into rounds.
Step 2:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. Lay the tomato rounds in the hot pan. Fry for about a minute, then flip them.
Step 3:

Crack the eggs into a separate bowl. Always wash your eggs before using them — even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
Step 4:

Grate the cheese right into the bowl on the coarse side of a grater, then stir. Any cheese works here — hard, semi-hard, or soft like mozzarella. Just make sure it's good quality, tastes great, has no milk-fat substitutes, and melts well.
Step 5:

Add the chopped herbs and a little salt. Use whatever herbs you like or have on hand. Rinse them first, pat dry, and trim off any thick stems.
Step 6:

Pour the egg mixture over the fried tomatoes. Stir gently and cover with a lid. Cook over low heat for 3-5 minutes, until the eggs are fully set. Then turn off the heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to finish. Serve it straight from the pan, or carefully slide it onto a plate. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving. Enjoy!

For variety, you can cook these eggs with onion, bell pepper, beans, corn, or mushrooms. Add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs. Any sausage or deli meat makes them even heartier.
Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft ones don't hold their shape — they'll fall apart into mush as you slice and cook them, ruining the look of the dish.
Any oil is only good up to a certain point — the smoke point, where it begins to burn and forms toxic compounds, including carcinogens. To learn how to pick the right frying temperature and the best oil for frying (and which to skip entirely), read here.
