Ingredients

  • 4 cage-free organic eggs

  • sea salt & black pepper
  • handful freshly chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, season with sea salt & black pepper, lightly whisk the eggs for about 10 seconds, you don´t want to fully whisk the eggs, you want to leave some streaks of egg whites in the mix

  2. Thinly slice 1/2 onion

  3. Peel 1 medium sized zucchini and cut into rounds that are about 1/8 of an inch thick

  4. Heat a large nonstick fry pan with a medium-high heat and add in 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  5. After 1 minute add in the sliced onion and mix with the olive oil, after 2 minutes add in the sliced zucchini, continue to mix, after 5 to 6 minutes and the zucchini is translucent and developing a light golden color and the onions are caramelized, lower the fire to a low-medium heat, season with sea salt & black pepper

  6. Once the pan cools down from a medium-high heat to a low-medium heat (about 2 minutes), add in the egg mixture, mix every 30 seconds, you want to end up with large chunks of eggs, after 3 minutes and the eggs are fully cooked through, remove the pan from the heat, transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives, enjoy!
