This recipe for scrambled eggs with green onions was inspired by a trip to the farmer's market here in downtown Austin. We wound up spotting these beautiful green onions.

They were so fresh, and I knew they would accompany scrambled eggs perfectly. A match made in breakfast heaven.

However, green onions are easy to find in most grocery stores! Just look for them in the refrigerated section alongside the other produce.

A tip for green onions!

Did you know you can regrow green onions? When slicing the ends, leave the bottom part (the light green part) whole. Take a glass and add an inch or two of water, and stick the bottom of the green onion in. Make sure the green onion is not completely immersed in the water, you want the end to poke out.

The green onion will start to regrow! Just swap out the water every day or two, and use the green onions as needed.

Customization ideas

The scrambled eggs with green onions are so easy to customize! Here's a few ideas!

You could add additional herbs like cilantro, parsley, or fresh basil. Or spices like harissa, paprika, or chili powder. If you're looking for a scrambled eggs with chives recipe, we've got one right here.

Additionally, you could add some cooked bacon or breakfast sausage to the dish!

Love cheese? Top your scrambled eggs and green onions with parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella.

Recipe tips

  • For softer eggs, cook on a low heat for longer.
  • A nonstick skillet can help keep the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • I love stirring my eggs with a silicone spatula.

Serving ideas

These scrambled eggs are delicious served with air fryer breakfast potatoes or on top of a croissant breakfast sandwich.

To pair with sweet breakfast items, the eggs would be delicious alongside a lemon dutch baby pancake, bananas foster french toast, monkey bread made with canned biscuits, or biscuit donuts.
