Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 eggs * see note below for sodium content
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon tellicherry peppercorns
  • 2 scallions sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the unsalted butter over low heat until the bottom of the pan is coated and butter has melted
  • In a bowl, add the eggs, sesame oil, water, chili flakes, and pepper. Beat together until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan, cooking over very low heat.  LOW AND SLOW is the rule for scrambled eggs in our house, it helps to cook the eggs evenly.
  • Every few minutes scrape the cooked eggs off the bottom of the pan with a spatula and fold into the pan. Repeat cooking for about 10 minutes until eggs are firm and cooked, no longer runny.
  • Plate eggs over toast of choice, and add toppings: I used fresh chopped scallions, crushed red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds - but use your favorite fresh vegetables or herbs.  Enjoy!

Notes

Natural Sodium in Eggs

  • Eggs do contain natural sodium, there are about 65mg of sodium per 1 large egg.
