Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk and whisk together until well combined.
Stir in black pepper, dried chives, fresh parsley, diced red bell pepper, and chopped onion into the egg mixture.
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium-sized baking dish by placing the dish in the preheated oven for a couple of minutes. Once melted, carefully swirl the butter around to coat the entire bottom and slightly up the sides of the dish.
Pour the egg mixture into the butter-coated baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before using a spatula to gently scramble the eggs by breaking them apart into fluffy pieces.
Serve warm with additional parsley garnish if desired. Enjoy your low sodium baked scrambled eggs!
