Experience the comforting flavors of the Philippines with this simple yet satisfying sardine and egg scramble. Canned sardines are gently flaked and combined with fluffy scrambled eggs, aromatic garlic, and fresh tomatoes, creating a hearty and economical meal perfect for any time of day.
Let's cook.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in 1/2 cup of diced tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour in the 1 can of sardines in tomato sauce (undrained) and gently break up the sardines with a spoon. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the 2 beaten eggs to the skillet. Stir gently to scramble the eggs with the sardine mixture until the eggs are just set, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately, ideally with steamed rice.
