Critical Success Points

  • Sauté peppers with lid to steam and soften evenly.
  • Cook tomatoes covered to retain moisture and achieve a sauce base.
  • Gently mash tomatoes without turning the mixture into a puree.
  • Lightly whisk eggs and add them to the pan for a creamy texture.
  • Melt Kashar cheese just until soft; over‑cooking makes it rubbery.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and skillet with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Steam released when covering the pan can cause scalding; open lid away from face.
  • Ensure eggs are fresh to reduce risk of salmonella.
