   • black pepper to taste

   Whisk the eggs and milk — Crack the eggs into the bowl, add the milk, salt and pepper, and whisk with a fork until smooth and well combined.

3. 3
   • cherry tomato 2

   Microwave and stir in tomatoes — Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then remove and stir in the halved cherry tomatoes vigorously with a fork, breaking up any set curds around the edges.

5. 5
