Ingredients
For the Strapatsada:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 Greek sausages (Loukaniko), sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small chili pepper, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
For Serving:
- 4 slices of rustic bread, toasted
Preparation
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice the Greek sausages into rounds.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Finely chop the chili pepper and spring onions.
- Crumble the feta cheese.
- Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crisp. Keep warm.
- Cook the Greek Scrambled Eggs (Strapatsada):
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced Greek sausages to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown and release their juices.
- Once the sausages are lightly browned, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
- Add the chopped chili pepper and spring onions to the skillet, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Push the sausage and tomato mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a minute or so until they start to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding them over the sausage and tomato mixture, until they are softly scrambled and cooked to your liking.
- Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and gently fold it into the eggs until slightly melted.
- Serve the Strapatsada:
- Divide the scrambled eggs with sausage, cherry tomatoes, chili pepper, spring onions, and feta cheese between two serving plates.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve the Strapatsada immediately with the toasted bread on the side, allowing your guests to enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures.
