Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling the medium onion, then finely chop it into small dice.

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion to the skillet.

Step 4

Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes or until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

While the onions are cooking, crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Beat the eggs with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 7

Season the eggs with 0.5 teaspoons of sea salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, then mix again to incorporate the seasoning.

Step 8

Once the onions are nicely cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed onions in the skillet.

Step 9

Let the eggs cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula to form soft scrambled curds.

Step 10

Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are just set and no longer runny, but still creamy.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley over the top for freshness and flavor.

Step 12

Serve immediately, dividing the scrambled eggs between two plates. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly breakfast!
