Chef John's Summer Scrambled Eggs Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Chef John's Summer Scrambled Eggs Recipe). Cooking isn't about always doing the right thing, and this summer scramble is a perfect example. Adding juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes to a scramble tastes great, but it's not a common practice since having a pool of liquid under your eggs is considered bad form. I don't care; I have toast. Try to find a goat milk feta cheese for this; it's awesome!
