Egg Sandwich with Bacon and Onion

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium red onion (trimmed, cut in half through equator, peeled, separated into rings)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup soft herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and/or dill (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons green or red hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 2 whole-grain English muffins (toasted)
  • 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (sliced)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Toss onion, soy sauce, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon oil on a large rimmed baking sheet to coat. Season with salt. Bake, tossing once halfway through, until onion is browned around the edges and very tender, 25-35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss herbs, hot sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Season with salt, if needed.

Melt butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs; season with salt. Cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until eggs have set into creamy folds, 1-2 minutes.

Spread herb sauce on cut sides of muffins. Transfer bottom halves to a rimmed baking sheet. Top with eggs, then lay cheese over. Bake bottom halves just until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Top with onion and close with muffin tops.
