Caramelized Onions

  • 2 TBSP Butter (I used Country Crock plant-based Avocado Butter)
  • 1/2 TSP Worcestershire
  • 1 TSP Maple Syrup
  • 1-2 TSP Oyster Sauce (optional – but sooo good)
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 Onion (quartered)
  • Mayonnaise 
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional but recommended)
  • 4 Slices of Bread (I used Whole Grain Sourdough)
  • Sliced Cheddar Cheese 
  • Crumbled Blue Cheese
  • 1 Apple (thinly sliced)
  • 1 Pear (thinly sliced)
  • 2 handfuls of Spinach
  • 2 Sunnyside Up Eggs
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

instructions

  1. Melt Butter with Worcestershire, Maple Syrup, Oyster Sauce and Water in a pan. Add Onions, season with Salt and Pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes (10 min covered and 10 uncovered.)
  2. Spread a thin layer of Mayonnaise on 1 side of each Bread slice. Then sprinkle with the Bagel Seasoning. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium high heat and place 2 slices of the Bread seasoning side down. Top with both Cheeses, Spinach, Pear and Apple slices, Onions and the other slice of Bread. Place a large plate or another pan on top of the sandwiches to weigh them down and toast for about 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Cook the Eggs while the Sandwiches are toasting.
  4. To serve, remove the top slice of Bread and add on Egg to each sandwich. Cut in half and ENJOY!!
