1 tsp / 5 ml paprika
2 cup / 500 ml diced tomatoes or halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup / 125 ml chopped onion
1/3 cup / 75 ml chopped cilantro
2 tbsp / 30 ml lime juice
2 tsp / 10 ml vegetable oil

  1. Toss tomatoes with onions, cilantro, lime juice and vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper (adjust to taste). Set aside.

  2. Preheat a large, oiled cast-iron pan on the grill set to medium (375°F/190°C). Add sausage, cumin and paprika; cook, stirring often until browned.

  3. Pour eggs into skillet and cook until softly set. Remove from heat and keep warm.
