Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg whites
- 2 large Whole eggs
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the green onions and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the two whole eggs and add the six egg whites, ensuring that no yolk is included in the whites.
Add the low-fat milk to the eggs, and whisk together until well blended and slightly frothy.
Stir in the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until they are fragrant and slightly softened.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit, undisturbed, for about 20 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, bringing the outer cooked eggs towards the center. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Remove the skillet from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a soft consistency.
Serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy scrambled eggs warm.
