Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or unsalted butter
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
If using frozen peas, rinse them under warm water to defrost and drain well. If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green peas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and heated through.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the whisked eggs.
Allow the eggs to gently cook, stirring frequently with a spatula, until they are just set and still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scramble rest for 1 minute to finish cooking from residual heat.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving. Serve warm on its own or with toasted bread.
