The recipe for Egg and Tomato Scramble comes from Ilva Jasica of St. Joseph, Michigan. "My mother used to make this when I was a girl," she notes.

Ingredients

  • 1 plum tomato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 egg or egg substitute equivalent
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste, optional
  • 1 slice bread, toasted
  • Additional fresh basil, optional
