Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed ghee
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paleo-friendly hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs and coconut milk are fully combined and frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the grass-fed ghee. Allow the ghee to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds to form the base of your scramble.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges to the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs begin to form soft curds.
Drizzle the paleo-friendly hot sauce over the eggs and gently fold it in so that it is evenly distributed.
Cook until the eggs are softly set but still a bit creamy, making sure not to overcook them.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the residual heat gently finish cooking the eggs to desired texture.
Sprinkle the scrambled eggs with freshly chopped chives before serving hot.
