- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the water begins to boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

While the eggs cook, peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion.
Step 5
Cook the onion for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
When the eggs are finished boiling, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and roughly chop them.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, caramelized onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped dill as a garnish.
