Egg Sandwich with Spinach & Caramelized Onion

There’s nothing like a good breakfast sandwich in the morning. Especially if the ingredients of that sandwich are wedged between a freshly sliced croissant! I love grabbing a fresh biscuit or croissant on the weekends and filling it with whatever I have on hand. In this case it was spinach, onions, fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, and eggs. I got the amazing croissant from one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn, Court Street Grocers. Such a simple and satisfying breakfast!

Ingredients:
1 croissant, sliced
1/4 yellow onion, sliced thin
Large handful fresh spinach
1/2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
2 eggs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil

Add some olive oil to your pan and saute the onions until slightly browned and caramelized. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside. In a separate small pan over medium low heat, add a little olive oil and crack two eggs into the center. Salt and pepper to taste. When the whites are cooked through and the yolk is still runny, turn off the heat. Working quickly, break the yolks then sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Fold the egg in half and place on one half of the croissant. Top with the spinach/onion mixture! YUMMMM. And as always I added some Cholula hot sauce, because I don’t know how to eat breakfast anymore without Cholula.
