My mother Voula served this fresh tomato egg scramble to our family for breakfast and as well for dinner. Just by adding more vegetables to the eggs such as green peppers, green onions or herbs you can change the recipe to your taste.  What’s great about this dish, is how tasty it can be with just these few ingredients. Serve this as a brunch dish by adding a great salad or fresh fruit.  I wouldn’t skip the step of using a fresh tomato or omitting it, because this is what adds the savory kick to the eggs. Adding the salty feta boosts it’s flavor to a new level, a perfect combination.

Grow your own tomatoes!

  1. Here are some of my favorite tomatoes to grow in my summer boxes. One Greek Variety: Thessaloniki, Early Girl, Better Boy, Yellow Pear, Black Beauty, Green Zebra, Plum, Roma, San Marzano.

Fresh Tomato Scramble "Kagiana"

In our home growing up, this egg scramble was our quick dinner on warm days. Add feta, fresh herbs and toasted bread and it was all we needed. We made this dish mainly in the summertime when tomatoes were in our garden.
