Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly until completely blended.
Add the almond milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk again to incorporate the ingredients uniformly.
Chop the green onions into small, thin slices, separating the white and green parts.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the white parts of the green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until they become translucent and fragrant.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, reducing the heat to low. Allow the eggs to set slightly at the edges before beginning to stir.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue to cook and stir slowly, ensuring the eggs do not brown, for about 5-7 minutes until they are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Add the green parts of the green onions and fold them gently into the scrambled eggs. Cook for another 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from heat while the eggs are still a bit runny, as they will continue to cook from residual heat. Serve immediately for best taste.
