Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 small, diced tomato
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture well until the eggs are thoroughly combined and frothy.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan. Sauté the onion for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the diced tomato to the onions. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomato softens slightly but still holds its shape.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon, bringing the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center.

Step 6

Cook the eggs slowly, continuing to stir gently, until they are just set but still slightly runny (approximately 5 minutes). Be careful not to overcook the eggs.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the scrambled eggs with the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately with toast or a side of your choice for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
