Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit without stirring for about 1 minute.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, forming soft curds. Continue until the eggs are cooked through but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare the salsa. In a small bowl, combine the chopped onion, diced tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss gently to mix.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to serving plates.
Top each serving of scrambled eggs with a generous spoonful of the fresh salsa.
Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
