Notes
The number of eggs added can be increased depending on personal preference.
Dried red pepper flakes can be added for a little kick. Once the eggs have been added, the skillet could be transferred to the oven until the eggs have been cooked to your liking, as an alternative to cooking the eggs on the stovetop. Cover the skillet with a lid once the eggs have been added to speed up the cooking process.
