Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 fresh green chilli, finely chopped
- 0.5 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the coconut milk, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the diced red bell pepper and the finely chopped green chilli to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs continuously, pulling them from the edges of the pan towards the center, until large curds form and the eggs are just cooked through but still slightly soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately stir in the chopped fresh coriander.
Serve the Paleo Chilli Scrambled Eggs immediately while hot, optionally garnished with additional coriander for added freshness.
