Ingredients:

• 1/2 tablespoon oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1-2 teaspoons sriracha
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon cold butter
• Salt, to taste
• 1-2 tablespoons sliced chives
• 1 slice American cheese
• 1 brioche bun, lightly toasted

How to Make It:

1. Caramelize the Onions: In a small saucepan, heat up oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, stir and turn the heat down to low. Cook, stirring often, until caramelized and soft, about 30-45 minutes. When the onions are almost done cooking, mix together sriracha and mayo. Set aside.
2. Scramble the Eggs: In a non-stick frying pan, crack the eggs and add the cold butter. Using a heatproof spatula, stir the eggs until the yolks and whites are homogenous. Cook the eggs over medium-high heat, stirring constantly and moving on and off the heat, until the eggs start to set. When soft and set, season with salt and stir in chives. Remove from the heat.
3. Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the bun and spread sriracha mayo on the bottom bun. Top with the eggs, lightly melt the slice of cheese in a non-stick pan, and place it on top of the eggs. Add caramelized onions and the top bun. Enjoy immediately.

Helpful Hints:

• Caramelized Onions: Caramelizing onions takes time, but it’s worth the effort. You can make a large batch ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to a week.
• Egg Scramble: Stir the eggs constantly over medium-low heat to get creamy and soft scrambled eggs. Remove from heat just before they are fully set to avoid overcooking.
• Brioche Toasting: For an extra crispy and buttery bun, toast the brioche in a pan with a little bit of butter until golden brown.
• Mayo Mix: Adjust the sriracha mayo to your spice preference. If you like it spicier, add more sriracha. For a milder taste, reduce the amount.
• Prep in Advance: Save time by preparing the sriracha mayo and caramelized onions the night before. This way, you can assemble the sandwich quickly in the morning.
• Serving Suggestion: Pair this sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the richness of the ingredients.
