Breakfast Sandwich on an English Muffin With Charred Red Onions, Herbs, and Cheddar image

You may not mistake these jammy-crisp, slow-cooked onions for bacon, but they are truly exceptional as a stand-in, giving a huge blast of umami to create a truly satisfying breakfast sandwich.

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss onion, soy sauce, garlic powder, and 1 Tbsp. 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 Tbsp. 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.
  • Do Ahead: Onion can be cooked 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill. To make a sandwich quickly without turning your oven on, fold the cheese into the eggs when they have just begun to set, top with onion (no need to rewarm), and assemble with toasted English muffins.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sandwich turned out great! The charred red onions were a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Other than that, this sandwich was delicious and satisfying.
