Delish recipe - I cut the recipe to 4 eggs and cooked it stove top only. Once I poured the eggs in I covered the pan. I added 2 tsp of Sambal Olek, no salt or pepper. Lovely flavor combination. I made this for dinner and it was very satisfying

This was so easy to make. I was out of tomatoes, so I substituted well-drained and blotted, canned diced tomatoes. It worked well. I will make this again, but I think I'll use more salt. Also during the "grilling" stage, I put cheddar cheese on top to melt in. This was yummy. Thanks for sharing catxx.
