Gather @egg{4}, @tomato{3} and @green pepper{2}.

Warm the @olive oil{3%tbsp} and @butter{15%g} in a wide pan and soften the sliced peppers over medium heat for 3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Add the tomatoes with a good pinch of @salt{} and cook until they collapse into a loose sauce, 5–6 minutes. ~{330%seconds}

Crack the eggs directly into the pan and let them sit for 20 seconds before stirring.

Fold gently with a wooden spoon just until large soft curds form and the whites are barely set.

Scatter with @red pepper flakes{0.5%tsp} and @black pepper{} and bring the pan straight to the table with bread.
