Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moon shapes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the sunflower oil. The oil prevents the butter from burning.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onion to the skillet. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the onions to help them release their moisture and caramelize more evenly.
Stir the onions occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and softened.
Push the caramelized onions to one side of the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the empty side of the skillet and let it melt.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly. Cook the eggs over medium heat until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Season the eggs lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently spoon the caramelized onions over and around the cooked eggs.
Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill for added flavor and a touch of brightness.
Serve immediately with rye bread or potatoes on the side for a traditional pairing.
