Today I wanted to take the time to share with you this super easy Colombian breakfast recipe.

It’s so easy but worth sharing with you as it is so so yummy!

Huevos pericos translates to parakeet eggs in English.

I have no idea why it’s called that.

The only thing I can think of is because of the colors of the dish.

It is colorful like a parakeet.

How to Make Huevos Pericos

The first thing you want to do is dice the tomatoes and chop the onions.

Use three roma tomatoes and about 1/3 a cup of chopped green onions.

You can use more or less depending on how much you like green onions.

Once those are chopped up crack six eggs into a bowl.

Add 1/4 a cup of milk and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder to the eggs.

Season them with a little salt and pepper as well.

Beat for a couple minutes.

Put the eggs aside and heat up one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Once the butter is melted and sizzling add the tomatoes and green onions.

Cook for a few minutes then add the eggs to the skillet.

Let the eggs sit for a few seconds then lift the cooked egg from the bottom of the pan with a spatula and let the runny egg cover the bottom.

Continue to do this until the eggs are completely cooked.

This should take around five minutes.

Use the spatula to chop the eggs into smaller pieces.

This is what it should look like when done. See. Super easy.
