Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 medium onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the onion thinly into half-moons.

Step 2

Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let the butter melt.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the oil and butter mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized. Lower the heat if they start to brown too quickly. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

While the onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and frothy.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for 10-15 seconds without stirring to allow the edges to set slightly.

Step 7

Using a spatula, begin gently stirring and folding the eggs, moving them around the skillet to form soft curds. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.

Step 8

Stir the caramelized onions into the scrambled eggs or serve them on top as a garnish.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with toast or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
