- Stir in 2 tablespoons of Tat Tomato Paste and 1 teaspoon of Oncu Sweet Pepper Paste. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Crack 4 eggs directly into the pan over the tomato and onion mixture. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Gently scramble the eggs with a spatula, mixing them with the tomato and onion. Cook until the eggs are set to your liking – some prefer them softer, others more firm.
- Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
