Instructions
- Mise En Place
Gather eggs, tomato, butter, chives, and salt; set out a knife, board, bowl, fork, sieve, frying pan, and spatula. · 2 min
What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the work surface.
- Drain Tomato
Dice the tomato into chunky pieces, then drain off loose juice and seeds in a sieve so the eggs stay creamy, not watery. · 2 min
What to look for: Tomato pieces look fleshy, with most loose juice left behind.
- Soften Tomato
Melt clarified butter in the frying pan over medium heat, add tomato pieces, and cook 1-2 minutes until just softened. · 2 min
What to look for: Tomato pieces soften slightly but still hold their shape.
- Whisk Eggs
Whisk eggs with salt in the bowl until the yolks and whites are just blended, then pour them evenly over the warm tomatoes. · 1 min
What to look for: Eggs are streak-free but not foamy.
- Scramble Gently
Stir gently over medium-low heat, sweeping the pan slowly, until soft glossy curds form and the eggs remain creamy. · 3 min
What to look for: Curds are soft, glossy, and barely set around the tomato.
- Serve With Chives
Scatter chopped chives over the jajecznica and serve immediately while the curds are soft and the tomato is still bright. · 1 min
What to look for: Chives sit fresh and green on top of the creamy eggs.

Ingredient substitutions
Egg
- Duck egg: Use about 2 duck eggs for a similarly rich scramble.
