Ingredients

• 4 pieces eggs
• 1 large onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moon shapes.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the sunflower oil. The oil prevents the butter from burning.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onion to the skillet. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the onions to help them release their moisture and caramelize more evenly.

Step 4

Stir the onions occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and softened.

Step 5

Push the caramelized onions to one side of the pan. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the empty side of the skillet and let it melt.

Step 6

Crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly. Cook the eggs over medium heat until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Season the eggs lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Gently spoon the caramelized onions over and around the cooked eggs.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill for added flavor and a touch of brightness.

Step 10

Serve immediately with rye bread or potatoes on the side for a traditional pairing.
