Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Filtered Water
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 stalk (chopped, for garnish) Green Onion
- 1 teaspoon Avocado Oil
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk gently until the yolks and whites are fully combined, being careful not to create too many bubbles.
Step 2
Add the filtered water, coconut aminos, and sea salt to the beaten eggs. Whisk lightly to combine, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Strain the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or serving dish. This step ensures a silky smooth texture by removing any unincorporated egg bits or bubbles.
Step 4
Cover the bowl tightly with a piece of foil or a heatproof lid to prevent water droplets from condensing onto the eggs during steaming.
Step 5
Prepare a steamer by bringing about 2 inches of water to a gentle simmer in a pot. Place the bowl of egg mixture onto the steamer rack, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
Step 6
Steam the eggs over medium-low heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the surface is set and the eggs jiggle slightly when lightly shaken. Avoid overcooking to maintain the creamy texture.
Step 7
Carefully remove the bowl from the steamer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes to settle.
Step 8
Drizzle a small amount of avocado oil over the top and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
