How to make Butter Garlic Eggs?

Take a small bowl to put the eggs in. Crack 5 eggs into the bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the eggs in the bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the eggs in the bowl.

Add dried chili flakes to the eggs in the bowl.

Using a whisk or fork, mix the eggs well with all the spices.

Heat a pan to medium temperature. Then pour 4 tablespoons of oil into the pan. You can use sunflower, canola, or simply vegetable oil.

Also add 1 tablespoon of butter into the pan with the heated oil.

Wait until the butter melts, then pour the eggs into the pan.

Take a spatula and start stirring the eggs immediately. Stir very slowly and gently to form a uniform mixture.

Using the spatula, shape separate pieces from the egg mixture.

Cook the eggs for another 5–7 minutes over medium heat until they firm up and the liquid evaporates from the pan. Then transfer the cooked eggs onto a separate plate and set aside. Prepare for the sauce.

Ingredients for Preparing Eggs

• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Dried chili flakes (to taste)
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (sunflower, canola, or any neutral oil)
• 1 tablespoon butter

How to Make the Sauce

Heat a pan over medium heat. Pour 3–4 tablespoons of oil into the pan. The oil can be olive, canola, or vegetable oil. Spread the oil evenly across the pan.

Also add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and wait until it melts. You can use a spatula to spread the butter evenly in the pan.

Finely chop 6 cloves of garlic. Add the garlic to the pan. Sauté the garlic over medium heat for 2 minutes until it softens and turns a light golden color.

Add 1/3 teaspoon of black pepper to the pan with the garlic.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes to the pan.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pan.

Add 1 tablespoon of cornflour (cornstarch) to the pan.

Mix everything well in the pan. The pan should be heated over medium heat. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 1–2 minutes.

Pour 1/2 cup of milk into the pan. We use lactose-free milk. Mix the milk with the remaining contents in the pan until the mixture becomes slightly thick.

Add a handful of spring onions to the pan. Mix everything well.

Add the previously cooked egg pieces to the pan. Stir the eggs well into the sauce.

Cook the eggs in the sauce, stirring constantly. The excess water should evaporate from the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously for about 10 minutes. If the water does not evaporate in 10 minutes, cook for a few more minutes until the eggs are drier.

Transfer the cooked eggs to a plate. Enjoy!
