EggSlut Fairfax Sandwich. Living in Seoul, I often get cravings for a greasy cheeseburger or a gourmet deli sandwich. I mean Korean food is great. But on the weekends, can you beat the taste of a simple cheeseburger? This past weekend, that craving hit me real early in the morning. I woke up found myself browsing Instagram trying to find a matjib. That's when I stumbled across EggSlut. Yea, I know... what a name!

EggSlut is a restaurant in LA that's whipping up beautiful gourmet egg sandwiches. Their Fairfax Sandwich - in particular - caught my attention. I loved the simplicity: caramelized onions, siracha-mayo and silky scrambled eggs on a plush brioche bun. I started to imagine what it would taste like lying in bed. But it was too much. And within 15 minutes, I was in a pair of jeans and on my way to the local baker. Sadly, no brioche buns! I grabbed a ciabatta bun instead and scurried back to my house.

So how did it taste? Exactly as advertised... marvelous! I loved the sweetness of the caramelized onions. The slightly spicy flavor of the sriracha-mayo and the soft silky texture of the scrambled eggs. If this breakfast sandwich was a tad-bit more healthy, I would be eating it throughout the week. But for now, I save it for the weekends 🙂

Few cooking notes:

Caramelizing onions takes time - about 30-45 minutes. Keep that in mind.
No need to complicate the recipe with silky, creamy scrambled eggs. Make your scrambled eggs however you like!
No need to get brioche buns - will taste good on any bread.
Highly recommend the sharp cheddar cheese though!

Course: Easy

Servings: person

Ingredients

Brioche bun - 1 or use any bread
Sharp Cheddar Cheese - 1 slice

Caramelized onions

Onion - 1 whole
Olive oil - 2-3 Tablespoons
Salt - 1 teaspoon

Sriracha-Mayo

Mayonnaise - 2 Tablespoons
Sriracha - 1 teaspoon

Scrambled Eggs

Eggs - 3
Butter - 1 Tablespoon
Chives - 2 Tablespoons
Salt - few shakes

Instructions

Make caramelized onions

Cut onion in half. Then cut into thin strips.
Put olive oil (2-3 Tablespoons) into frying pan. Place on medium-heat. Once it's hot, place onion slices in. Season with salt (1 teaspoon). Separate any clumps and place evenly around the pan.
Now don't touch the onion slices. Let them cook on one side and develop a slight char. It should take about 3-5 minutes.
Flip it over with a spatula. And let them cook on the other side for 3-5 minutes.
Now, reduce to a low-heat. And let the onions continue to reduce for another 15-30 minutes. Stir once-in-a-while and check that it doesn't burn.
Once the onions get deep brown color and turn mushy, take them off the heat. Set aside for later.

Prep Sandwich

Place some butter in your frying pan. And toast your sandwich buns.
Next, make the sandwich spread: Mix Mayonnaise (2 Tablespoons) with Sriracha (1 teaspoon)
Spread generous amount of the sriracha-mayo onto the toasted buns.

Make Scrambled Eggs & Finish

Crack 3 eggs into a cold frying-pan. Place a scoop of cold butter (1 Tablespoon) into the pan as well.
Beat the 3 eggs together. (Note: Don't worry about stirring in the piece of cold butter - it will melt later)
Now, place your frying-pan on a medium-high heat. Then continuously stir the eggs with a rubber or wooden spatula. Keep stirring and don't stop! Once the eggs start to curdle, take the frying pan off the heat and keep stirring until you get a oatmeal-like consistency. (Note: You can always place it back on the heat if it needs to cook some more)
Now, garnish the eggs with chives (2 Tablespoons) and season with salt (few shakes).
Place the silky eggs on the bun.
Place the caramelized onions over the egg.
Finally, pour yourself a glass of orange juice and Bon Appetit!
