10 Min Pan-Fried Eggs with Green Onions
Fresh green onions cooked with eggs in one skillet. This is a simple idea to pep up your usual pan-fried egg meal.
Ingredients
- 6-10 green onions aka Spring Onions
- 1-2 Tablespoon neutral cooking oil or Butter, generic cooking oil
- ⅛ Teaspoon salt
- ⅛ Teaspoon black pepper
- 2 egg
Instructions
- Rinse green onions, make sure to remove dirt trapped between the stalk junctions. Trim off the bad parts.
- Trim off the ends, separate bulbs from the green stalks. Slice the bulbs and cut the green stalks into about 1 inch (~2 cm) long pieces.
- Heat up your skillet with the oil or butter. Wait until it's a bit hot and add the sliced green onion bulbs and cut stalks to the pan.
- Fry onions over a medium to high heat setting and occasionally stir-cook.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Once the onions are half way cooked through, push them aside in the pan so that you have space in the center to break in the eggs. Reduce heat.
- Break in the eggs and keep over medium heat afterward so that the eggs get to cook through while surrounded by the green onions in the pan.
- Fry eggs to your liking. When done, season eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper as needed.
- Serve up hot.
Notes
- Green onions and spring onions are the same thing. Scallions, on the other hand, are different. BUT you can substitute green onions with scallions to make this recipe.
