Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the onion into thin rings or strips.
- Set aside the eggs, black pepper, lemon juice, and salt for use in subsequent steps.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Sear the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized, about 6-8 minutes.
- While the onions are cooking, fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Crack the eggs into separate small bowls or cups.
- Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon, then gently slide each egg into the water, one at a time.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and set them aside on a plate.
- Once the onions are seared to a golden brown, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over the onions and give them a quick toss to combine.
- Transfer the seared onions to serving plates.
- Place one poached egg on top of the seared onions on each plate.
- Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the poached eggs and onions.
- Season with a final dash of black pepper and, if desired, an extra sprinkle of salt.
- Serve immediately while the eggs and onions are warm, and enjoy your Lemon-Pepper Seared Scallions with Poached Eggs!
Tips:
- For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs and create a gentle whirlpool in the boiling water before adding the eggs.
- Make sure your pan is hot before adding the olive oil to ensure a good sear on the scallions.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and black pepper to suit your taste preferences.
- For added flavor, you can use a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
With minimal ingredients and simple steps, this Lemon-pepper seared scallions with poached eggs recipe is an excellent choice for a quick and delicious meal. The zesty lemon juice and the subtle heat from black pepper perfectly complement the rich, poached eggs, resulting in a harmonious and satisfying dish. Enjoy your culinary creation!
