90g
1 onion
70g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 tsp vinegar
10g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk.
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
2. Cooking the Onion:
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
- Spray with a short burst of cooking spray oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Adding the Eggs:
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed onions.
- Allow the eggs to sit for about 10-15 seconds, then gently stir them with a spatula to create soft curds.
4. Seasoning:
- Sprinkle a dash of black pepper over the mixture.
- Pour the vinegar over the eggs and onions evenly.
5. Scrambling:
- Continue to gently stir and scramble the eggs until they are cooked to your preferred consistency. This should take an additional 2-3 minutes. The eggs should be fluffy and well-incorporated with the onions.
6. Serving:
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.
- Transfer the onion and egg scramble to a serving plate.
7. Optional Garnish:
- You can garnish with additional black pepper or fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
8. Enjoy!
- Serve immediately while hot. This onion and egg scramble makes a great breakfast or light meal.

Tips:

- To avoid the eggs becoming rubbery, cook them on medium-low heat.

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and make cleaning up easier.

- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor.

- For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of chili flakes.

- Be sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly to achieve a uniform texture.

- Adding the vinegar at the end helps to brighten the dish and cut through the richness of the eggs.

With minimal ingredients and a straightforward cooking process, this Onion and Egg Scramble with Black Pepper and Vinegar is a delightful way to transform simple components into a flavorful and satisfying dish.
