Tunisian Eggs & Peppers image

My love of eggs - for breakfast, lunch or dinner - is no secret. So when I came across this one I knew it was a likely winner. Have not tried it yet but posting it with the original ingredients. I will most likely reduce the calorie count in my own rendition.

1 fresh red chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
6 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and quartered
salt & freshly ground black pepper

  • Before preparing dish, decide whether you want to cook the eggs in the oven or on the stove. Directions for both methods provided.
  • Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion and cook 5 minutes or until soft. Add peppers and chile, cover and cook 8 minutes or until bell peppers are just tender.
