Brosega is a simple dish, with very poor origins, which, since medieval times, was distributed on the tables of the most humble Umbrian families. Its preparation is also very easy. Brosega is a specialty based on sautéed tomatoes and accompanied by a lightly fried onion, to which are added, only lastly, the eggs to be scrambled.
