Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 medium white onion
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. If using milk, add it to the bowl. Beat the eggs with a whisk or fork until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop half of the medium white onion.
Step 3
In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped onions to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and tender.
Step 5
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet over the onions. Allow the eggs to sit without stirring for about 30 seconds, letting the edges begin to set.
Step 6
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, folding them over as they cook. Continue to cook and stir occasionally until the eggs are cooked through but still creamy and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Season the scrambled eggs with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat. Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the eggs before serving.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium scrambled eggs with onions immediately, either on their own or with your choice of low sodium accompaniments.
