Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, peel and finely chop the onion.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.
Once the eggs are done, carefully transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.
Using a fork or potato masher, chop the eggs into small pieces.
Add the sautéed onions to the eggs, along with salt and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately on its own, with crackers, or spread on bread for a simple sandwich.
