Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- 6 large eggs
- 3 English muffins, split and toasted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Prepare the Sauce: Stir in a dash of pepper and your choice of cream or milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the skillet.
-
Make the Poaching Liquid: Once the sauce is simmering, reduce the heat to low. Carefully crack the eggs one at a time and slip them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid.
-
Poach the Eggs: Let the eggs cook in the simmering sauce for about 10-15 minutes. The exact time will depend on how runny or firm you prefer your yolks. Check occasionally, and adjust the cooking time if necessary.
-
Prepare the Muffins: While the eggs are poaching, toast the English muffins until they are golden brown.
-
Assemble the Dish: Remove the poached eggs from the skillet with a slotted spoon, and place one egg on each toasted English muffin half. Spoon the creamy sauce over the eggs.
-
Serve: Garnish with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy a delicious breakfast or brunch!
