Ingredients

• 4 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or unsalted butter
• 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk (if using), salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

If using frozen peas, rinse them under warm water to defrost and drain well. If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the green peas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and heated through.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the whisked eggs.

Step 8

Allow the eggs to gently cook, stirring frequently with a spatula, until they are just set and still soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scramble rest for 1 minute to finish cooking from residual heat.

Step 10

Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving. Serve warm on its own or with toasted bread.
