Ingredients

• 6 large Egg whites
• 2 large Whole eggs
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the green onions and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, crack the two whole eggs and add the six egg whites, ensuring that no yolk is included in the whites.

Step 3

Add the low-fat milk to the eggs, and whisk together until well blended and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Stir in the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped green onions and sauté for about 1 minute until they are fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit, undisturbed, for about 20 seconds.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, bringing the outer cooked eggs towards the center. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a soft consistency.

Step 10

Serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy scrambled eggs warm.
