Traditional Breakfast - Eggs with Onion

To transform this simple recipe into a delicious and comforting dish, we start by preparing the eggs. Choose fresh eggs, preferably from a local source, as they taste better and have a nicer texture. Wash the eggs with cold water and a gentle soap, then carefully place them in a deep pot. Fill the pot with cold water, adding a tablespoon of salt to help the egg whites coagulate during boiling. Place the pot over medium heat and wait for the water to reach boiling point. Once the water starts to boil, time 5 minutes, during which the eggs will boil perfectly, resulting in a creamy yolk and a firm white.

After the 5 minutes have passed, remove the eggs from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of cold water. This step is essential to stop the cooking process and facilitate peeling later. Let them sit for a few minutes in cold water. Once they have cooled sufficiently, carefully peel the eggs, keeping in mind that freshly boiled eggs can be harder to peel. Use a fork to mash the eggs in a bowl. The texture you will achieve will be ideal for mixing with the other ingredients.

Add finely chopped onion, preferably green onion or red onion for a sweeter taste. Mix the composition well, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Extra virgin olive oil will add extra flavor, so feel free to add 2-3 tablespoons. Mix again to homogenize all the ingredients. The resulting dish should be creamy and easy to spread.

Serve this delicious mixture on slices of warm, freshly baked bread, which will absorb the flavors and provide a crunchy texture. You can also sprinkle sweet or spicy paprika on top for an extra touch of color and flavor. This dish is perfect for a hearty breakfast or a quick snack. Pair it with a hot tea or a fresh seasonal salad, which will perfectly complement this simple yet flavorful meal. Thus, you will create a dish that is not only tasty but also nourishing, ideal for starting the day with energy or for enjoying a moment of indulgence in the middle of the day.
