Blooming Onion Eggs

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the red onions from the top towards the base, ensuring the bottom remains connected so the layers stay intact. Remove the inner parts to create a cavity.

  2. Drizzle olive oil over a frying pan, then place the prepared onions onto the pan.

  3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place an egg yolk carefully into each onion cavity, and pour the egg whites around the onions in the pan.

  4. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes. The onions will soften and “bloom” while the egg yolks set, indicating the dish is ready.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
