    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. medium heat

    Add the finely diced green chili peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  3. medium heat

    Add the diced tomatoes. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the tomatoes release their juices and reduce to a saucy consistency.

  4. medium heat

    Add the salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

  5. medium heat

    Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them over the tomato mixture.

  6. medium heat

    Gently stir the eggs with a wooden spoon until cooked to a soft, slightly saucy consistency. Remove from heat within 2-3 minutes. The eggs should not be overcooked; they should remain creamy.
