Eggs with Scallions will have you rethinking eggs just for breakfast. This anytime meal is as good for breakfast as it is for dinner. The scallions take on a sweetness when cooked, which combined with the savory eggs and cheese make this quick and healthy meal soooo good :)
My Nonno Salvatore, my mothers dad loved these eggs. The way my nonna made them for him was to sauté scallions then crack a couple eggs on top sunny side up. If the yolk broke, he would be very upset! I have tried them both ways and prefer the scrambled. Try them for yourself; let me know which one you prefer.
You'll need:
14 or so scallions, washed and cut in half length wise then cut again in half
8 eggs, beaten, salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 heaping teaspoons grated cheese
In a medium skillet sauté scallions in oil for about 3 minutes or until wilted. Add eggs on top of scallions. Scramble the eggs and scallions until cooked.
Serves 4
Notes: although 14 scallions may seem a lot, the wilt down substantially
I love scallions in my eggs. In Colombia the typical breakfast is huevos pericos which is scrambled eggs with scallions and tomatoes. Try it next time, it's delicious!
