Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 8 pieces crackers
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Crush the crackers into small pieces by hand or place them in a resealable plastic bag and gently press with a rolling pin. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, reducing the heat to medium-low.
Let the eggs cook for about 1-2 minutes without stirring until the edges start to set slightly.
Sprinkle the crushed crackers over the eggs evenly, then gently stir and fold the eggs using a spatula to combine the crackers as the eggs continue to cook.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.
Transfer the cracker eggs to plates, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
