For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider using heirloom tomatoes or adding a pinch of dried oregano during the tomato reduction phase. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for a salty tang. Kagianas can be enjoyed hot or cold. Many find that the flavors meld beautifully when refrigerated overnight, making it a wonderful make-ahead dish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepTransform the tomatoes into a vibrant puree by blending them in a food processor until smooth. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Introduce the tomato puree, salt, and pepper, stirring frequently as the mixture simmers. Continue cooking until the liquid has gracefully evaporated, leaving behind a concentrated tomato essence. (10-15 minutes)
03
StepLower the heat to medium and gently pour in the beaten eggs. With a spatula, stir continuously, coaxing the eggs into a creamy, luscious scramble, ensuring no large chunks remain. Cook until the mixture reaches your desired consistency, a perfect balance of moist and tender. (7-10 minutes)
