Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 medium, finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté them until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Push the onions to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the empty side of the pan and let it melt.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low, and pour the egg mixture into the skillet beside the onions. Allow the eggs to sit, undisturbed, until the edges begin to set.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges to the center, folding them carefully over the onions throughout the process.

Step 6

Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are softly set and slightly runny in places. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Let the residual heat of the pan finish cooking the eggs, creating a creamy texture.

Step 8

Transfer the scrambled eggs with onions to serving plates and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
