INGREDIENTS
- Eggs
- Basil
- Hot sauce
- Bread
- Butter
- Cherry tomatoes
METHOD
Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl as you usually would, but omit sugar and cinnamon, and instead hit them with freshly ground black pepper, chopped basil, and a dash of hot sauce. Slide some slices of old bread in there to soak, then fry up the toasts up in butter. Scattering a few handfuls of halved cherry tomatoes into the pan as the bread cooks yields a fine topping. Doubters will doubt no more.
