Ingredients
4 4 large eggs
1 1 small onion
2 tablespoons 2 milk or cream
1 tablespoon 1 butter or olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Equipment
Mixing bowl- Whisk or fork
- Frying pan
- Spatula
Directions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or olive oil and let it melt.
- Add the finely chopped onions to the skillet and sauté them, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and start to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes. Reduce the heat if the onions begin to brown too quickly.
- While the onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and the milk or cream if you’re using it. Whisk until the eggs are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the onions are caramelized, reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the onions.
- Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to form soft curds.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat slightly before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
- Immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to plates to prevent overcooking. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Cooking the eggs over low heat ensures they stay soft and creamy.
