Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 piece medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams feta cheese
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 6-8 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
While onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, and black pepper. Whisk the eggs until well blended and slightly frothy.
Chop the fresh parsley and oregano finely, and crumble the feta cheese if it's not pre-crumbled.
Once the onions are caramelized, reduce the heat to low and push the onions to one side of the skillet.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then pour in the beaten eggs.
Let the eggs sit untouched for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, mixing with the onions.
Cook the eggs slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are softly set and slightly runny in places, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped parsley, oregano, and crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
