Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing and chopping the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, pour in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent.
  4. Toss in the chopped bell peppers and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  5. Stir in the chopped cherry tomatoes and let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. In a bowl, crack open 4-6 eggs and beat them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  7. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, reduce heat to low, and stir gently for about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and your choice of fresh herbs on top.
  9. Serve the scrambled eggs immediately while they are hot and fluffy, optionally with toast or pita.
