Huevos Pericos
In Colombia, Huevos Pericos is typically served with arepas (corn cakes) or bread, and can be accompanied by hot chocolate, coffee, or fruit juice. This is one of the most popular and delicious breakfast dishes in Colombia. The smell of sauteed scallions and tomatoes really brings me back whenever I make this for breakfast. When I make them at home, I usually use a combo of whole eggs and egg whites, but you can use whole eggs only if you prefer.

This simple breakfast is one I make and it can always take me back. Although it’s typically eaten with arepa, I usually just eat it with toast. To make huevos pericos, the eggs are first beaten in a bowl and set aside. Then, chopped tomatoes, and scallions are sautéed in a pan until they are soft and fragrant. The beaten eggs are added to the pan and cooked until they are scrambled and fluffy, with the vegetables mixed in. Salt and pepper are added to taste.
How To Serve
Huevos pericos can be served with a variety of sides, including arepas, bread, or rice. If you like breakfast tacos or breakfast burritos, these eggs are delicious stuffed in a tortilla. Some people also like to add hot sauce or cilantro to the dish for extra flavor.
