This is delicious. DD (toddler) thinks so too. I used larger amount of canola oil, regular cooking onion, a good canned plum tomatoes which I chopped, flat leaf parsley, sweet paprika, freshly ground black pepper, to taste, sea salt to taste, good extra virgin olive oil, & 3 large eggs. I covered the eggs when not stirring. Made for ALL YOU CAN COOK BUFFET - SPECIAL EVENT!

What a wonderful trip down memory lane did this wonderful breakfast lead me. It very much reminded me of the way my dear departed dad used to make eggs with the only discernable difference being he put in a lot more onion and would cook it till it was a rich caramel colour and used basil instead of parsley, he always said that basil and tomatoes were made for each other. Thank you Nasseh for a great breakfast for the DM and I and to Averybird for the recommendation, made for I Recommend Tag Game.

So very, very good. I only used a 3/4 teaspoon of cumin and added a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne and 1 teaspoon of tumeric. I also poached the eggs. We really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting!
