Half of a small onion, chopped into tiny pieces

1 small red chili pepper, seeds removed and finely minced
03 -
2 tablespoons of creamy butter
04 -
6 fresh large eggs

Sea salt to taste
→ Optional Garnishes

Pickled red chili peppers or fresh sliced chilies
07 -
Sriracha hot sauce
08 -
Freshly ground black pepper
09 -
Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Get everything ready first - peel that onion and chop it into small, even pieces. Remove the seeds from your chili and mince it finely. Having everything prepped makes the cooking process much smoother.
02 -
Crack all six eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them enthusiastically with a fork. Keep going until you see little bubbles forming - that's the air getting incorporated, which will make your eggs extra fluffy.
03 -
Add a generous pinch of sea salt to your whisked eggs. Don't be shy with the seasoning - eggs need more salt than you think to really shine.
04 -
Heat your butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Once it's melted and gently bubbling, toss in the chopped onion and let it cook for about 2 minutes until it becomes soft and fragrant.
05 -
Stir in your minced chili and cook for another minute. You'll start to smell that lovely spicy aroma - that's when you know it's time for the next step.
06 -
Pour in your seasoned eggs and now comes the key - cook them slowly while stirring frequently. Patience is everything here. Watch as they gradually form soft, creamy curds.
07 -
The moment your eggs look almost set but still slightly wet, remove them from heat immediately. They'll continue cooking from residual heat, so don't let them overcook or they'll become rubbery.
08 -
Plate up immediately while they're still creamy. Top with fresh chopped parsley, extra chilies if you're feeling brave, or a drizzle of sriracha for an extra kick.
# Notes:
01 -
This versatile dish works perfectly for breakfast, lunch, or even a quick dinner when you need something satisfying fast.
02 -
The secret to perfect scrambled eggs is low heat and constant stirring - rushing will give you tough, rubbery eggs.
03 -
Adjust the chili quantity based on your heat tolerance - start with less if you're sensitive to spice.
