Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces of lox you can substitute with smoked salmon if you like
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill for garnish optional
- Crusty bread or bagels optional but highly recommended!
Instructions
- Sauté the Onions: Start by heating the butter (or olive oil) in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté those beauties for about 5-7 minutes until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. The aroma will be heavenly!
- Prepare the Eggs: While the onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. You can whisk them a bit if you like them fluffy, or simply leave them beaten for a more rustic style. Season with a bit of salt and pepper!
- Add the Eggs to the Onions: Once the onions are ready, pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit for about 30 seconds, then gently stir the mixture until the eggs are almost set. We want them creamy and soft, so don’t overcook!
- Fold in the Lox: Just before the eggs are fully cooked, add in your lox, gently folding it into the mix. The lox should warm through but not go too long on the heat. This takes just a minute or two!
- Serve It Up: Your Lox and Eggs with Onions is ready to rock your breakfast table! Serve it hot, garnished with fresh dill for an added pop of flavor. Pair it with some crusty bread or toasted bagels, and enjoy every bite!
