Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 piece medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 50 grams feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onion.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 6-8 minutes until caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 4

While onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, and black pepper. Whisk the eggs until well blended and slightly frothy.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley and oregano finely, and crumble the feta cheese if it's not pre-crumbled.

Step 6

Once the onions are caramelized, reduce the heat to low and push the onions to one side of the skillet.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then pour in the beaten eggs.

Step 8

Let the eggs sit untouched for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, mixing with the onions.

Step 9

Cook the eggs slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are softly set and slightly runny in places, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped parsley, oregano, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 11

Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
