Prep time:  5 minutes
Cook time:  10 minutes
Serves:  3-4

INGREDIENTS
6 eggs
4 tablespoons milk or water
1/2 cup shredded Tomme de Savoie cheese (or your favorite, a cheddar would be great)

1/4 cup scallions, 1/4" dice
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup tomato, 1/4" dice
salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the milk and the cheese.  Set aside.

Turn heat to medium low and pour the egg mixture over the scallions.  Add the basil and tomato.  Cook, stirring slowly and constantly, for 2-4 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to the consistency you like.
