Heat the oil in the pan, on a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes to soften.
Add the peppers and tomatoes and cook for a further 8 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are just soft. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the eggs and stir through the mixture then leave it to cook for a few minutes. Stir again and once the eggs are scrambled, serve at once.
Sprinkle with herbs if using.
