How to Make Sweet Basil Eggs

  1. In a medium nonstick skillet, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1 tablespoon dried basil) and 1/4 cup diced canned tomatoes (or 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes).
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set and most of the liquid is absorbed. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Reduce heat if the eggs start to brown too quickly.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked through and have a slightly creamy texture. (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired.
