- Add 6 ounces fresh yeast (crumbled) to the fried onions. Reduce the heat and stir until the yeast dissolves.

Notes
- The basic recipe makes 2 generous portions.
- SERVING: Pile the spread on bread slices and sprinkle with chopped chives. Garnish with a sliced tomato or a piece of red pepper.
- What to do with leftover yeast spread? If this is the case, let the spread cool completely. Transfer it to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about three days.
- Curious about the taste of yeast bread spread? Surprisingly, it doesn't have a strong yeast flavor. The spread gets its flavor from sautéed onions in butter and eggs. I would describe the overall taste as having a subtle hint of mushrooms.
