Description
Butter Garlic Eggs are a creamy, savory breakfast made with simple pantry staples. Rich, fragrant, and ready in just 10 minutes, this dish is perfect for mornings when you crave something comforting and delicious.
Ingredients
- Large Eggs: 4 eggs – provide the rich, creamy base for the dish.
- Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons – melts into a luscious sauce that carries the garlic flavor.
- Garlic Cloves: 2 cloves, finely minced – infuses the dish with a warm, savory aroma.
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – enhances the natural flavor of the eggs.
- Black Pepper: 1/8 teaspoon – adds a gentle kick and depth.
- Fresh Parsley (optional): 1 tablespoon, chopped – brightens the flavor and color.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place your nonstick skillet over low heat. Let it warm gently as you prepare the ingredients.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk with salt and pepper until fully blended and a bit frothy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add butter to the warm skillet. Once it starts melting, stir in the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds — don’t let it brown.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the garlic butter, letting them sit for a few seconds before stirring.
- Cook to Perfection: Use a spatula to gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until just set but still soft and glossy.
- Finishing Touches: Turn off the heat. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for freshness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately over toast, rice, or on its own with a side of fresh fruit or salad.
Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs for a fluffier texture.
- Don’t overcook — remove from heat while still slightly soft.
- Add herbs, cheese, or a touch of chili to customize.
- Perfect with toast, rice, or wrapped in flatbread.
