Scrambled Eggs with Tomato Goat Cheese and Mint

Fresh mint gives this egg dish an exotic Middle Eastern or Mediterranean flair. Crumbled feta cheese would make a robust substitution for the milder goat cheese. For a complete meal, accompany the eggs with sliced cucumbers, fresh olive bread, and honey-drizzled fresh or dried figs, and pour sweetness black tea.
