Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 medium yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 slices bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the oil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.

Step 4

Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the caramelized onions, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Using a spatula, create 4 small wells in the onion mixture. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (or to your preferred doneness).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the eggs and onions with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately, optionally with toasted bread on the side for mopping up the yolks and onions.
