Scrambled Eggs with Soy Marinated Tomatoes. We have the most amazing Black Krim tomatoes in our garden. This recipe is quick, and just wonderful. Scallion, garlic, ginger and sesame oil work so well with the tomatoes—it also has a little agave which it doesn't really need, as there is some sweetness in the tomatoes. We give this a 5!
