Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 6 pieces dates
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pit the dates if they are not already pitted, and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the pan evenly.
Add the chopped dates to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they soften slightly and release their natural sweetness.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, incorporating the softened dates as you scramble them. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the eggs are softly set and creamy.
Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent overcooking, as the eggs will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs with dates to serving plates and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your sweet and savory creation!
