Chef John's Summer Scrambled Eggs

Chef John's Summer Scrambled Eggs

Making scrambled eggs with cherry tomatoes may not seem like a common practice, since having a pool of liquid under your eggs is considered bad form. But I don?t care, because I have toast! Cooking isn?t always about doing the right thing, and this summer scramble is a perfect example. Try to find a goat milk feta cheese for this — it?s awesome!
