Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the onion. The smaller the pieces, the better they'll blend into the eggs.
In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add 2 tablespoons of milk.
Whisk the mixture until well combined and airy. This will make the eggs fluffier.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the chopped onion to the skillet.
Sauté the onion for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Season with 0.25 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Allow the eggs to set slightly at the edges before gently stirring with a spatula. Cook slowly while continuing to fold the eggs over themselves.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still soft, remove the skillet from the heat as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately, adjusting seasoning to taste.
