Ingredients
- 10 eggs (large)
- 1 red onion (medium, finely chopped)
- 1 green chili (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 slice whole wheat bread
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 10 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped 1 red onion and thinly sliced 1 green chili (if using). Sauté for 3 minutes until the onion is softened.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let cook undisturbed for 1 minute, then gently scramble with a spatula, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, about 2-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped 1/4 cup fresh cilantro.
- While the eggs are scrambling, toast 10 slices whole wheat bread until golden brown.
- Divide the spiced egg scramble among 5 plates and serve immediately with 2 slices of toasted whole wheat bread per serving.
Notes
For fluffier eggs, add a splash of milk or water when whisking. Adjust chili to taste or omit for a milder dish.
