It is an open secret that the potato omelette is one of the favorite dishes of the Trendencias newsroom. But what actually happens is that the egg, with all its versatility, is one of our essential foods and a must have in kitchens around the world.
Soft-boiled, boiled, poached, fried… Eggs have many benefits and are extremely versatile in the kitchen, and proof of this is this Greek-inspired recipe that we love so much. It’s called strapatsada and it’s a scrambled egg, tomato and feta cheese that is so easy that once you try it, you’ll add it to your cookbook no matter what, because it doesn’t take more than 20 minutes to prepare and it’s pure umami.
We start by peeling and chopping the onion and the clove of garlic that we are going to fry in a pan with a little olive oil. While it is poaching, grate the tomato (with a coarse grater like this it will be very easy), and throw away the skin.

Add the vinegar and sugar to the onion and garlic mixture and, over low heat, let them caramelize slightly. When the mixture has lost its liquid, add the grated tomato, cumin and paprika, and fry over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
It is time to add the eggs, which we will have beaten slightly, and lower the heat so that little by little they cook. The trick to juicy and creamy scrambled eggs is timing., just as they teach us in the Directo al palate video that is just below these lines, so we will move patiently until they begin to take shape. At that time we add the crumbled feta cheese and remove the pan from the heat. We add chopped thyme if we want and a little more cheese to decorate.
The best thing about this recipe is its creaminess, which has made it our favorite version of scrambled eggs. With a little toasted bread you will have a wonderful dinner that you can complete with a salad like Karlos Arguiñano’s, for example.
