Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs are well combined and fluffy.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing them to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Once the pan is hot, pour in the egg mixture. Allow it to set for about 10-15 seconds without stirring.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center. Continue to fold and stir the eggs as they cook, creating soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway done (still slightly wet), sprinkle in the chopped cilantro. Fold the cilantro into the eggs gently to ensure even distribution.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still soft and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Serve the cilantro eggs hot with toast, avocado, or a side of your choice. Enjoy!
