Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
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.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the caramelized onions, and stir to combine.
Using a spatula, create 4 small wells in the onion mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
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).
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the eggs and onions with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, optionally with toasted bread on the side for mopping up the yolks and onions.
