Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté them until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Push the onions to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the empty side of the pan and let it melt.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and pour the egg mixture into the skillet beside the onions. Allow the eggs to sit, undisturbed, until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, folding them carefully over the onions throughout the process.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are softly set and slightly runny in places. Remove from heat.
Let the residual heat of the pan finish cooking the eggs, creating a creamy texture.
Transfer the scrambled eggs with onions to serving plates and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
