Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced yellow onion
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 pieces romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Thinly slice the yellow onion and separate the lettuce leaves. Set both aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Allow the eggs to cook gently, stirring slowly with a spatula, until they are just set but still creamy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the scrambled eggs from heat and let cool slightly for easy handling.
To assemble the wraps, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs into the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with some caramelized onions.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, healthy Egg Onion Lettuce Wraps!
