SERVES 2

Ingredients:
  • ? cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp. grated pecorino romano

2. Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat butter in a 12" nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook until milky foam settles at the bottom of the skillet and turns nut brown.
