Egg-White Parsley and Onion Scramble is inspired by Ejjeh, a traditional egg and parsley patty that is made before Easter. I really do love the "real" Ejjeh, but for regular mornings sometimes you need something a little lighter!

This is the first of my "un-stuffed" recipes, with the idea being I will feature several lightened-up versions of some of our favorite tastes!

How do I make Egg-White Parsley and Onion Scramble?
Wash parsley thoroughly and snip off the long stems. Then chop up the parsley to a fine consistency. Next, peel and dice one medium onion. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add parsley and onions and stir until onions are beginning to soften.
For the eggs, I wanted to keep it light, so I used mostly egg whites. I separated the whites from four eggs and combined that with 2 whole eggs. (In other words, whisk six egg whites and two yolks with a fork.) Add two tablespoons of almond milk, salt, pepper and dried mint to the egg mixture and then pour over the onions and parsley in the pan.

Continue cooking over medium low heat until eggs are cooked through. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the pan as you mix it all together. You can serve this with a side of homemade kefir for an extra healthy breakfast!
