Steps:
- CARAMELIZED ONIONS: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and stir to coat evenly. Saute for 8 minutes. Then turn the heat down to medium low and saute for another 40 minutes, until they're a deep amber color and have reduced to one third of their original volume
- EGG WHITE OMELETS: Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, and use a paper towel to lightly grease the pan and remove the excess oil. Beat 2 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon of piment d'Espelette, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Pour the egg whites into the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes, until opaque and slightly firm. Flip over the egg white omelet, and cook for an additional minute or two. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- BLUEBERRY & ARUGULA SALAD: In a jar, combine 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic, and maple syrup. Close the jar tightly and shake vigorously to emulsify. In a large bowl, toss the arugula and blueberries with the dressing.
- SHKIAFFING IT TOGETHER: Toast the bread and slather one half of each sandwich with a tablespoon of fig jam and a tablespoon of caramelized onions. Add an egg white omelet, top with a second slice of toasted bread, and serve with 1 cup of arugula and blueberry salad on the side.

Steps:
- For the caramelized onions: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onions, separating them, and sprinkle with the salt. Saute for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are deep amber in color, another 35 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, for the fig jam: Combine 1/4 cup water, the figs, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, 45 to 60 minutes. For the eggs: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and use a paper towel to grease the pan and remove the excess oil. Crack 2 egg whites into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Pour the whites into the skillet and add 1/4 teaspoon piment d'espelette and some black pepper. Cook until opaque, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs to make 3 more omelets. For the salad: Combine the olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the jar and shake vigorously to blend. Toss the arugula and blueberries with the dressing. Toast the bread. Spread 1 tablespoon jam on each of 4 slices of toast and add 1 tablespoon caramelized onions. Top with the egg whites and cover with the remaining slices of toast. Serve with the salad.

CREAMY EGGS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Surprising and delicious and so inexpensive! I love this because it uses ingredients we always keep on hand. You can make the sauce rich with cream or skinny with skim milk. The recipe doubles well and makes a different brunch and even children seem to like it. I got it from a 24-year-old Sunset book on country French cooking, where it was called Oeufs a la Tripe, I think because all those onions in cream sauce look like creamed tripe. I changed the name, needless to say.

Steps:
- Bring the eggs to a boil in water to cover. Boil 5 minutes, remove from heat, and let stand 20 minutes. (This technique avoids the green ring around the yolk.) Drain and peel and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
- Slice the onions into rings. Melt the butter in a very large skillet over low heat and add the onions. Salt them lightly, stir to coat with butter, cover the pan and cook for about 10 miutes. Stir, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Uncover and let most of the liquid cook away. Onions should be very tender and browned.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir until no dry flour is visible. Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring or whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the sliced eggs and heat through.
- TO SERVE TO GUESTS -- sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and/or paprika, because this dish is a little bland-looking. ADVANCE PREP -- the eggs can be boiled and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance. The onions can be caramelized 3 days in advance and refrigerated.

Tips:
- To make the perfect caramelized onions, slice them thinly and cook them over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Use good quality bread for your sandwich. A hearty whole grain bread or a soft and fluffy white bread will both work well.
- Spread the fig jam on the bread before adding the caramelized onions and egg whites. This will help to prevent the jam from becoming too runny.
- If you don't have time to make homemade fig jam, you can use store-bought jam instead. Just make sure to choose a jam that is unsweetened or has very little sugar.
- Serve the sandwich with a side salad and maple balsamic dressing for a complete meal.
Conclusion:
This egg white with caramelized onions and homemade fig jam sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. And with just a few simple ingredients, this sandwich is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
