Instructions:

- 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.

- Transfer the onion and egg scramble to a serving plate.

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.
