Lox and Eggs with Onions
Description
This recipe begins with cooking quartered and sliced yellow onions gently in butter and a little salt over medium heat until they develop browned edges and a soft texture that takes about 10-12 minutes. While the onions cook, eggs are beaten with salt and pepper. The eggs are added to the skillet with onions and scrambled until just set but still moist.
Before the eggs fully cook, the heat is turned off, and Nova lox — thin, cold-smoked salmon — is folded gently into the eggs to warm through without overcooking the delicate fish. The dish is garnished with chopped fresh chives or scallion greens, adding a mild fresh bite that contrasts with the richness of eggs and salmon.
Lox and Eggs with Onions makes a hearty breakfast or brunch rich in texture and umami flavors. It can be served immediately with toast or bagels for a classic pairing. The combination of caramelized onions, softly scrambled eggs, and tender smoked fish creates a satisfying balance suitable for a special morning meal or relaxed weekend cooking.
Ingredients
- olive oil spray form
- 1 tablespoon butter or dairy free butter, unsalted
- 1 small yellow onion (quartered and cut into ¼-inch slices (about 1 1/2 cups))
- 4 large egg
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 3 ounces Nova Lox chopped, sliced
- chives for garnish, or scallion greens, chopped
Instructions
- Heat a medium size skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with oil and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and starts to foam, add the onions and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Cook the onions for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges have browned, stirring often.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a small bowl with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste.
- When the onions have browned, add the eggs and scramble until almost cooked through.
- Just before eggs are set, turn off the heat and add the salmon.
- Gently fold in the salmon until heated through and evenly combined, about 30 seconds. Top with chives or scallions and serve.
