Fried Eggs in Onion Nests
Makes 2 Servings
2 large onions
4 Tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
4 large eggs
To make the Onion Nests:
Peel the onions and slice as thinly as possible, In a large skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Let them cook until they are brown and crispy, almost burned. This could take 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape the onions up with a spatula and place on 2 plates, creating 2 "nest" shapes per plate.
To fry the eggs:
Add the remaining 3 Tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet. When the oil is hot, Crack 2 eggs into the hot oil. Let the eggs cook until the whites start to brown on the edges. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1 minute longer. The whites will be cooked all the way through and the yolks will be runny. (If you prefer the yolks are cooked more, leave the lid on until the yolks are cooked to your liking.) Lift the eggs out of the skillet with a spatula and place 1 egg in the center of each "nest". Repeat the process with the last 2 eggs.
