Eggslut's Fairfax Sandwich Recipe
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hellmanns mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
- 3 farm-fresh eggs
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
- Kosher salt
- 1 brioche bun
- 1 thick slice sharp cheddar cheese
- Combine the Sriracha and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Whisk until the mixture is even in color.
- Set aside.
- Set a saute pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot add 1/2 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt.
- Add the onion and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook, stirring often, until the onion is very soft and golden brown, about 45 minutes.
- Set aside.
- Crack 3 eggs into a cold saute pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
- With a wooden spoon, stir the egg and butter mixture well, blending the yolks and whites to a uniform color.
- Do not stir vigorously: Whipping the eggs will ruin the consistency of the cooked eggs.
- Place the egg mixture over medium-high heat.
- Stir the eggs until the edges begin to curdle.
- Once the eggs start to coagulate, remove from the heat and stir the curds off the edges of the pan.
- Place the pan back on the heat and stir the eggs until theyre the consistency of a thick custard.
- Add the chives and season with salt to taste.
- (Seasoning has to occur at the very end or the salt will break down the proteins, resulting in watery eggs.)
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a metal bowl.
- Split and toast the bun and spread the Sriracha mayo on both halves.
- Pile the scrambled eggs onto the bottom half.
- Add the slice of cheddar to a hot nonstick saute pan to melt it slightly, then arrange it on top of the eggs.
- Top with 1 tablespoon of the caramelized onions, cap with the bun top, and serve.
