Strapatsada
This is a Greek recipe — actually, strictly speaking, it's Italian, or of Italian derivation: strapazzare meaning, in the context of eggs, "to scramble". And really that's what this is: eggs scrambled with tomatoes. I was initially hesitant about this, as the notion of tomatoes mixed into scrambled eggs didn't seem appealing. But the thing is, it doesn't quite taste like that. This is what cooking is all about: what the ingredients do together in the pan, not what they sound like on the page. A simple alchemy. I am reliably informed that the cheese you would eat with it is Xynotyro, but since there's no way I have of getting my hands on that in my neighbourhood, I go for Wensleydale as the closest substitute available locally. What you want is a sharp and salty cheese that will crumble and melt a little, if that helps. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
