Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup canned black beans
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 medium onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans, then set aside.
Finely chop half of a medium onion and mince the garlic clove.
In a medium bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk together with 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the black beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through.
Transfer the beans mixture to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat.
Pour in the egg mixture and allow it to sit, undisturbed, for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs to create curds. Cook until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in parts, about 2-3 minutes more.
Add the bean mixture back into the skillet with the scrambled eggs and gently stir to combine.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt for 1 minute.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
