Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-low. Add capsicum, onion, and a pinch of salt, cover, and cook 12–15 minutes until completely soft and glossy.

Stir in smashed garlic and espelette pepper off heat for 15 seconds. Return to medium heat, add grated tomato and remaining salt, cook 5–7 minutes until darkened and concentrated.
Simmer
Lower heat to medium-low, pour beaten eggs into vegetables, and stir gently for 2 minutes until eggs set into soft glossy curds folded through the piperrada.
