Prepare the Egg Mixture:

Combine and Season:
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Gently fold everything together, ensuring the eggs and tomatoes are well mixed. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors. Adjust the seasoning to taste. -
