Put the oil in a nonstick frying pan and set over a low heat until warm, but not hot. Add the paprika, oregano, mint, onion and the deseeded and finely diced green pepper, and season to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Add the eggs to the pan and season to taste. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, folding the mixture with a silicone spatula, until the eggs are just barely set.
