Ingredients
4 eggs
4 tablespoons oil for cooking
1 large onion, diced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden and soft, stirring occasionally.
While the onion cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, chili powder, and black pepper over the cooked onion and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the spiced onion. Gently scramble and fold with a spatula, breaking up the eggs as they cook, for about 3-4 minutes until fully cooked through (eggs should reach 160°F internal temperature or show no liquid egg remaining).
Taste the mixture and add salt as needed. Divide between two plates and serve immediately.
Comments
This is a stripped-down weeknight winner that lands in 15 minutes as stated, with every ingredient available at any Charlotte grocer—no special stops needed. At roughly $1.50 for two servings, it costs almost nothing and leans on pantry staples (cumin, chili powder) most households already have on hand. The technique is forgiving: scramble eggs, build a quick onion base, finish with heat and spice; nothing burns if you step away for 30 seconds. The only caveat is that it does not keep well—reheat and the eggs turn grainy—so this is a same-night, back-pocket dinner for when you need speed and have nothing else thawed.
