Cheesy Onion Scramble
What Started it all:
Eggs, cheese, onions
This Cheesy Onion Scramble is a quick and delightful breakfast or brunch option. The combination of fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and caramelized onions creates a comforting and flavorful dish that's sure to please everyone at the table.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or olive oil.
- Once the butter is melted or the oil is hot, add the chopped onions. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the onions are caramelized, reduce the heat to low. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the onions. Allow the eggs to cook slowly, gently stirring with a spatula to create soft curds. Continue to cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the eggs. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs until it is melted and the eggs are fully cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and divide the Cheesy Onion Scramble among four plates. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
