Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 brioche bun, sliced
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
Cooking Fats and Liquids:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/4 cup water
Seasonings and Condiments:
- 2 tablespoons chives, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize sliced onions in a skillet with butter and oil over medium heat, periodically adding water to prevent burning and enhance browning process.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly with salt, pepper, and finely chopped chives until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Using the same skillet, gently melt additional butter and pour in egg mixture, creating soft, creamy scrambled eggs through gentle stirring.
- Craft a spicy-tangy spread by blending mayonnaise with Sriracha sauce until smooth and well-integrated.
- Lightly toast brioche bun halves to achieve a golden, crisp exterior while maintaining a soft interior.
- Apply the Sriracha-mayo mixture generously across both bun surfaces, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer the bottom bun with fluffy scrambled eggs, creating an even, inviting base.
- Distribute caramelized onions atop the eggs, allowing their rich, sweet flavor to permeate the sandwich.
- Add cheddar cheese to introduce a sharp, melty element that complements the other ingredients.
- Crown the sandwich by positioning the top bun, pressing gently to meld all components into a cohesive breakfast delight.
Notes
- Caramelize onions slowly to develop rich, sweet flavor without burning, using small amounts of water to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Control egg scrambling temperature to achieve soft, creamy texture by stirring gently and removing from heat just before fully set.
- Customize spice level of Sriracha mayo by adjusting ratio to match personal heat preference, using less or more sauce.
- Make gluten-free version by substituting brioche with gluten-free bread or lettuce wrap for low-carb option.
