This morning I have a SUPER simple breakfast for you; eggs in an onion’s nest. I love this breakfast dish because what you see is what you get; eggs and onions. And when I need something to power me through the morning, this is my go-to pick! Now I know there are those who fear the egg, but FEAR NOT my friends because these little guys are HEALTHIEST in their natural form! Just check out my “Is It Healthy? Eggs Beaters,” post if you need more convincing!
I usually start by eating a big bowl of fruit or a glass of homemade juice. This morning I picked the juice; apple, carrot, and celery. You’re getting an army of antioxidants when you drink this juice, vitamins A, C, and E…just to name a few!
After about 30 minutes, I was ready for part II of my breakfast.
I chopped up 1 whole onion in thin slices (use two onions if you’re feeling up to it) and sauteed them in a mix of olive oil and butter for about 10-15 minutes. You want the onions crispy! Once you have the desired texture for the onions, place them on your plate forming a little nest. Now, crack 2 large eggs in the same skillet and let them cook just how you like them (I like my yolks a little runny). Once cooked as you wish, top each onions’ nest with an egg and sprinkle with a little freshly ground pepper if you like!
The crispy onions mop up the runny yolk beautifully. So tasty! So easy! So healthy…get cooking folks!
QUESTION: What’s your go-to easy breakfast to power you through the morning?
I tried this today! I think I need to use a higher heat because my onions weren’t crispy enough. It was super tasty though! Definitely a dish to make after you’ve already found your soulmate.
Looks yummy. I love eggs but usually only eat them on the weekends b/c I’m usually rushed in the mornings. My easy go-to breakfast is a whole grain English muffin with peanut butter and a piece of fruit.
Great post; I usually have porridge in the morning.

I love eggs and I love onions! This is a great combo!! Thanks for this recipe.
Happy weekend to ya.
That would be tasty! My go-to is oatmeal. Day-to-day, I go with the large flake oats, but when I have time, I make steel-cut and put it in the fridge to keep me stocked up for a few days.
I love eggs in the morning. Such a powerhouse of nutrition! I usually make an egg sandwich with hummus, whole wheat bread, mushrooms and avocado. I may make this tomorrow! Thank you for sharing, sweet girl!
Damn that all looks good!!! I love protein oats with all my fav seeds and some berries to keep me satisfied!
honestly, it’s your basic bowl of cheerios with some bananas on top and a side of orange juice. I usually run in the mornings and if I don’t eat something nutritious, I wind up snacking all morning till lunch
I love eggs! Esp since I’ve been getting farm fresh ones through my CSA program!
I love onions too so I know I’d love this!
I love a nice green smoothie for breakfast to power me through my day!
I <3 Eggs! So easy to cook. So cheap. So nutritious. And they actually taste good. Eggs = Winning!
What a cute name
My go to breakfast is actually not very ‘go to’ because my routine varies across the week and what works some days doesn’t on others…but fruit and yoghurt are pretty reliable stand bys!
I totally want a juicer.
What a great idea! I’ve been trying to eat less bread, but I still need something to soak up the yolks of my eggs! Sending love! <3
I looove onions so this sounds delish!!! I used to things eggs were unhealthy but now I know they’re not!!! I like greek yogurt for a power breakfast
I am team egg, right there with you. Whites are OK, but you are missing all the good stuff!!
I think I’ll do this egg’s in an onion nest for the hus as a surprise this weekend, thanks!
This is my kind of breakfast!! YUM!
I don’t worry about the eggs, I worry about offending someone with all that onion! Oh, how I LOVE onion. Definitely a favorite veggie of mine, no doubt about it!
Yum!!! I’ve made something similar but added Swiss chard in with the onion mix too. Love whole eggs, no fake eggs!
I love this idea! Kinda of like a healthy bed of hash browns.
LOVE this idea! I always add onions to my omelets and scrambles, but never thought to rest the eggs on top of the onions! I’ll definitely be trying this tomorrow. Yum!
I almost always eat eggs in the morning because I find they keep me full and satisfied longer than cereal, bars etc. Occasionally I’ll make coconut flour pancakes, but they take a bit more time, so I usually save them for weekends.
