Ingredients

  • tbsp Butter double the amount of butter if you like it extra buttery
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 medium Serrano, finely chopped or 2-3 Thai green chili
  • 1 cup Very Finely Chopped Onions
  • ¾ cup Very Finely Chopped Green Peppers
  • ¼ cup Chopped Scallions, while part
  • tsp Salt use only 1 tsp if you like keep shy on salt
  • 2 tsp Red Thecha Chutney or Trader Joe's bomba sauce, use 1 tsp for less spicy
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • ½ tsp Garam Masala
  • ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Chopped Cilantro
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Scallions, green part
  • 2 slices Pepper Jack Cheese or choice of spicy cheese

Instructions

  • Heat ½ tbsp butter in a flat wide non-stick pan.
  • Crack open eggs and cook them only on one side just enough to get the white part partially cooked while yolk is still runny. Due to butter on a non-stick pan, eggs should slide easily. Take them out of the pan and leave it on side as is.
  • In the same pan, heat ½ tbsp of butter. Once melted, add serrano, onions, green peppers and white part of scallions along with 1 tsp of salt.
  • Saute them on medium heat until onions start to become translucent, but not brown.
  • Add red thecha chutney, black pepper powder, garam masala, red chili powder and ¼ tsp of salt (skip ¼ tsp salt if you like to keep it shy on salf). Mix it well, cook for a minute or two.
  • Add partially cooked eggs in the pan over the spice mix. Start to scramble eggs using spatula. Mix well and keep cooking until the eggs are completely cooked.
  • Top it with sliced pepper jack cheese or preferred spicy cheese. Cover the and let the cheese melt on medium heat, making sure the eggs do not over cook.
  • Once melted, add ½ tbsp of butter along with finely chopped cilantro and green part of scallions.
  • Mix well, take it off the stove. Serve it with some buttery buns or over couple of toasts. It pairs well with rotis too, or eat it just as is!
