butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier due to its unsaturated fats.

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites are lower in calories and cholesterol.

Break the eggs on a flat surface to avoid introducing bacteria and breaking the yolk.

Whisk the eggs with a fork, ensuring to break the whites thoroughly without leaving long strands.

In a skillet, add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt.

Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet with a dash of salt and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute as a garnish.

Prepare the scrambled eggs last, using a sturdy pan without corners for easy mixing.

Cook the eggs directly on the heat, stirring continuously to keep them creamy.

If the heat gets too high, remove the pan from the heat while continuing to stir.

Once the eggs start to set, add leftover egg mixture and a tablespoon of cream to stop the cooking process.

Serve the scrambled eggs, optionally garnished with the sautéed tomatoes.
