SERVINGS
6 servings
PREP TIME
20-60 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Caramelized Onions (can substitute with onion jam)
- 3 lbs. onions, sliced
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup water
Bagels
- 6 bagels, toasted
- 8 oz. baby arugula, cleaned and dried
- 6 eggs
- 12 slices mozzarella
DIRECTIONS
Caramelized onions (Time - 40 minutes):
Add onions, butter, and salt to a nonstick skillet. Turn heat on to medium. Let onions cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add water and turn heat to medium low. Stir every 5 minutes, and add 2 tbsp of water if the onions start sticking to the pan. Allow onions to cook until fully softened and a caramel color forms, about 40 minutes.
Bagels:
Fry eggs to preferred doneness. When almost done cooking, add 2 slices of mozzarella to each egg. Cover pan until the cheese melts. Place cheese-topped eggs on a toasted bagel slice. Place the caramelized onions on the cheese. Top with arugula and other bagel slice and serve!
