Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
  2. Add the diced red chili and smoked paprika to the egg mixture, whisking briefly to incorporate.
  3. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander before serving.

Notes

For an extra kick, keep the seeds in the red chili when dicing. If you prefer a smokier depth, consider adding a pinch of chipotle powder alongside the smoked paprika. Serve with a slice of sourdough toast to balance the spice.
