Are you prepared to experiment with a novel pairing that could surprise your dinner guests and your taste buds? Despite their seeming incompatibility, garlic and eggs work well together to make a surprisingly tasty and nourishing dish that is both simple to prepare and filling. Here’s how to prepare an easy recipe that has surprised many people, including my husband, with delicious results!
– 3 large eggs
– 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter
– Optional: herbs like parsley or chives for garnish
Step 1:
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. The finer the garlic, the more distributed its flavor will be throughout the dish.
Step 2:
Heat olive oil or melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté it gently until it’s fragrant and just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this can add a bitter taste to your dish.
Step 3:
Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed garlic in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully set but still soft. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid overcooking or burning the eggs.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Optionally, sprinkle chopped herbs like parsley or chives over the top for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately while warm. This dish pairs well with toast or a simple side salad for a balanced meal.
