Stir in the green pepper and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.
While the onions and peppers are cooking, purée half the tomatoes in a food processor or blender.
Once the onions and peppers are soft, add the remaining chopped tomatoes to the pan.
Put the eggs into a medium bowl, add the puréed tomatoes and whisk until foamy.
Once the mixture in the skillet comes to a simmer, stir in the 1/4 cup parsley and the butter, if using.

Reduce heat to low, add the egg mixture on top and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste, adding a little more salt, oregano and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve directly from the skillet, with flatbread.
