Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion chopped
• 1 green bell pepper (Anaheim or Holland peppers will work as well),cored, seeded and chopped
• Kosher salt
• 2 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• Black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, more for later
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 French baguette for serving thickly sliced

Instructions

• In a 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers and season with kosher salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened (being careful not to brown the onions).
• Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with a little more kosher salt, black pepper, oregano, and Aleppo pepper. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften but still hold their shape (5 to 7 minutes).
• Push the tomato and pepper mixture to one side of the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the beaten egg, and cook briefly, stirring gently as needed, until the eggs are just set. Fold the tomato mixture into the eggs.
• Finish with a little EVOO and more Aleppo pepper and crushed red pepper flakes, if you need a little kick. Serve immediately with thick slices of bread.
