Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 40 g feta
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 15 g butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp cumin
  • fresh parsley
  • salt
  • black pepper

Preparation

  • 1

    Halve the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and place the halves skin-side up under a hot grill or in a frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil. Let the skin char and blister. This charring is not an accident but intentional: the sugars in the skin caramelize and the skin loosens, leaving you with sweet, smoky flesh instead of watery raw pepper.

  • 2

    Place the hot halves in a sealed bowl for five minutes. The steam will completely loosen the skin, allowing you to peel it off with your fingers. Cut the flesh into short strips.

  • 3

    Toast the cumin in a dry pan for half a minute until fragrant, and mix it with the bell pepper and a pinch of salt.

  • 4

    Whisk the eggs with the cream and black pepper. The cream increases the fat content and slows down coagulation, giving you more leeway before the eggs dry out.

  • 5

    Melt the butter in a frying pan over low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Wait until the bottom layer begins to set, then gently draw a spatula from the edge to the center. Remove the pan from the heat when the eggs still look just a bit too wet.

  • 6

    Spoon the scrambled eggs onto a plate, top with the bell pepper strips, and crumble the feta over them. Finish with parsley and black pepper. Salt is hardly needed due to the brine in the feta.
