Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping half of a medium yellow onion. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack open 4 large eggs and add the whites of 2 additional eggs. Add 2 tablespoons of skim milk to the bowl.
Season the eggs with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly until it appears well combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they become soft and slightly translucent.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked onions.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for 15-20 seconds and then gently stir them with a spatula, scraping from the edges to the center of the pan.
Continue to cook and stir the eggs every few seconds, ensuring they cook evenly and maintain a creamy texture.
Once the eggs are fully cooked yet still shiny and soft, remove the skillet from the heat.
Serve the scrambled eggs on plates and garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley.
Enjoy your low fat scrambled eggs with onions hot and fresh!
