Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup green salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup of green salsa, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to set slightly.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
- At this point, pour in 1/4 cup of green salsa. Stir gently to combine the salsa with the eggs, allowing the mixture to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the salsa is heated through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste the scrambled eggs and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the pan scrambled eggs with green salsa to plates. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Pan Scrambled Eggs with Green Salsa!
Tips
- Choose the Right Pan: Always use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Temperature Control: Keep your heat at medium to avoid overcooking the eggs. Low and slow is the key to creamy, soft scrambled eggs.
- Salsa Selection: Use a high-quality green salsa with fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Homemade or artisanal salsas work best.
- Don't Overbeat: When whisking eggs, mix just until combined. Overbeating can make eggs tough and rubbery.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh cilantro isn't just optional - it adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the salsa perfectly.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed right away while they're hot and creamy.Pro Tip: For extra richness, you can add a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco or a dollop of sour cream on top of your finished dish!
