Huevos pericos, Colombia’s most common breakfast egg dish, is made by gently cooking eggs with tomatoes and green onions in a little oil until soft curds form. Using little oil makes it a lower-calorie choice for breakfast.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the Vegetables

3 min

Sauté the diced tomatoes and finely chopped green onion in cooking oil for 3 minutes, until softened.

2

Add the Eggs

4 min

Crack the eggs directly into the pan, add the salt, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft curds form.

3

Serve

1 min

Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly moist, and serve immediately.

Reminder

After adding the eggs to the pan, stir occasionally rather than constantly; stirring too often makes them mushy instead of forming small curds. Contains eggs.
