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.
