Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by peeling the medium onion, then finely chop it into small dice.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion to the skillet.
Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes or until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
While the onions are cooking, crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl.
Beat the eggs with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Season the eggs with 0.5 teaspoons of sea salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, then mix again to incorporate the seasoning.
Once the onions are nicely cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed onions in the skillet.
Let the eggs cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula to form soft scrambled curds.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are just set and no longer runny, but still creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley over the top for freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately, dividing the scrambled eggs between two plates. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly breakfast!
