Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 0.5 jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Chop the tomato and red onion into small dices and add to a small bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add to the bowl.
Remove seeds from the jalapeño and finely chop it, then add it to the bowl.
Add lime juice, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the salsa mixture, stirring well to combine. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of whole milk, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them sit without stirring for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping from the edges to the center. Continue until the eggs are just set yet still slightly runny.
Remove the skillet from heat; the residual heat will continue to cook the eggs.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately on plates and top with generous spoonfuls of the prepared salsa.
