Ingredients

  • 6 pieces Large eggs
  • 2 large Yellow onions
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
  • 6 pieces Bread slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into uniform rings.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter and olive oil.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the butter and oil.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar and a pinch of salt over the onions to help enhance their sweetness.

Step 5

Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until they turn a deep golden brown and caramelize. If the pan becomes too dry, add a splash of water to prevent burning.

Step 6

Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the onions from heat and set them aside.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour in the whisked eggs. Gently stir and cook the eggs to a soft scramble, being careful not to overcook them.

Step 9

Once the eggs are soft and fluffy, remove them from heat.

Step 10

To assemble, evenly divide the scrambled eggs onto serving plates or small bread slices if using.

Step 11

Top each portion with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an additional sprinkle of black pepper, if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm as an appetizer or a light meal.
