Let’s Make It Together
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re golden and fragrant.
While the onions are cooking, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavor.
In a non-stick pan over low heat, gently scramble the egg mixture until soft and creamy. Remember, low and slow is the way to go for that perfect texture.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the brioche buns until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a generous scoop of scrambled eggs on the bottom half of the toasted bun, then top with a spoonful of caramelized onions and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Finally, cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately while everything is warm and gooey. Enjoy your Eggslut breakfast sandwich with a warm cup of coffee or tea!
Fun Ways to Customize It
Add Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley can add a zesty touch and a pop of color to your sandwich.
Mix In Some Spinach: For a more wholesome feel, add a handful of fresh spinach to the egg mixture while scrambling. It wilts down beautifully and adds a lovely earthy flavor.
Swap Out the Cheese: Try adding crumbled feta or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile—zesty and unique!
Avocado Bliss: For a creamy twist, slice some ripe avocado to layer between the eggs and cheese. It brings a richness that’s simply irresistible.
