Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the onion into small pieces.
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet, and cook until caramelized and soft, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the onion is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
Once the onion is caramelized, transfer it to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Cook the eggs over medium-low heat, gently stirring with a spatula, ensuring that the eggs cook evenly and remain soft. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, mix in the caramelized onions.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still creamy.
Garnish the scrambled eggs with chopped chives and serve immediately.
