Soft Scrambled Eggs With Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Onions (Low-Carb, Dairy Free)
These soft scrambled eggs with oven-roasted tomatoes and caramelized onions are inspired by a favorite Ottolenghi couscous recipe. The slow-cooking process coaxes beautifully deep flavors out of the tomatoes and onions. We usually prep them the night before, then stir them into the creamy soft scrambled eggs in the morning for an elegant, crave- worthy brunch dish.

Soft Scrambled Eggs With Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Onions (Low-Carb, Dairy Free)
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the tomato halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with1 tablespoon of the oil and the vinegar and toss to coat. Arrange the tomato halves skin side down and sprinkle with the sugar and a big pinch salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for about 2 hours, until the tomatoes have lost most of their moisture.
Meanwhile, cut the onion into 1⁄4-inch- (6-mm-) thick slices. In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1 minute, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
When the tomatoes and onion are ready, whisk the eggs, milk, paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a big pinch of pepper together in a large bowl.
Pour the eggs into a large sauté pan or skillet and heat over medium heat for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium-low and continuously stir the eggs with a wooden or silicone spoon while scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan. Small curds will appear first, then the eggs will begin to set. Turn off the heat when the eggs still look very moist but not runny. This will take 6 to 10 minutes.
Gently fold the chopped tarragon into the eggs and top with tomatoes and onion. Garnish with tarragon leaves and serve immediately on warm plates.
