Onion dish going viral on overseas social media — I put an egg inside a ring and it made for a complete meal.
We usually chop onions finely and add them to stir-fries or stews, right? But while browsing overseas social media, I saw that onions are being used in a completely different way...
Onions are usually chopped finely
You put it in stir-fries or stews, right?
However, while looking at overseas social media, I saw
They use onions in a completely different way.
Preserving the original shape of the coarsely sliced onions
It is used like a small cooking mold on top of a frying pan.
Put an egg in it.
I even added ham and cheese.
One onion
It makes for a pretty nice breakfast menu.

No dough is needed either.
You don't need a separate frame either.
What is particularly interesting is
It looks like the egg will spill out of the onion rings, but
Add only a little bit of the egg mixture at first.
You can make it much cleaner if you cook it from the bottom up.
Today, what you often see on overseas social media
Onion ring egg pancake
So that you don't fail at home either
I'll organize it in a single fan version.
Onion Ring Egg Pancake Ingredients
Servings 1-2
1 large onion
2 eggs
2 slices of ham, approximately 40g
30g mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
1 teaspoon of cooking oil
2 pinches of salt
A little pepper

If you use bacon
About 2 strips of pre-cooked bacon
Please chop it into small pieces before using.
Rather than adding raw bacon at the same time as the eggs
It is better to cook it thoroughly first before adding it.
How to make it


1. Slice the onion thicker than usual.
Use the wide middle part of the onion.
After peeling the skin
Please slice it horizontally into pieces about 1.5 to 2 cm thick.
If it is too thin, the onion collapses limply as it cooks.
It is also difficult to pour the egg mixture.
A large and pretty ring on the outside
Please select about 3.
Do not throw away the small onion remaining inside.
You can use it when making fried rice, rolled omelets, or soup.
2. Prepare the eggs and filling.
Crack two eggs into a bowl and
Add 2 pinches of salt and pepper and mix lightly.
So that the ham can fit inside the onion rings
Chop into small pieces.
Finely chop the parsley as well.
We also prepare cheese.
Here, eggs and all ingredients
I won't mix them all at once.
You must add them in the order of egg mixture → ham → egg mixture → cheese.
The shape comes out prettier.
3. Please place the onion rings in the pan first.

1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a non-stick pan
Please wrap it thinly.
Medium-low heat is best.
When the fan gets warm
Place the onion rings so they do not stick together.
4. The most important spoonful here

Do not pour in the egg mixture immediately.
This is the most important part of this recipe.
In the center of the onion ring
1 teaspoon of beaten egg
I'll add just about that amount first.
And with tongs or a spatula
Gently press the onion ring toward the pan.
After about 10 to 20 seconds
When the egg at the bottom starts to turn white
The egg acts as a kind of stopper
The bottom of the onion ring is clogged.
If the egg keeps leaking out
In most cases, this process was skipped.
5. Add the ham and fill with the egg mixture.

Once the floor hardens to some extent
Add the finely chopped ham.
The remaining egg mixture on top
Please pour carefully.
Getting greedy here
If you fill it all the way to the top of the onion, it might overflow.
Only about 70~80% of the onion height
It is good to fill it up.
Please sprinkle a little parsley as well.
6. Lastly, cheese.

Mozzarella or on top of an egg
Top generously with cheddar cheese.
Rather than adding too much cheese
It is best if it just lightly covers the surface of the egg.
Because it contains both salty ham and cheese
You don't need to add a lot of salt from the start.
7. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat.

Now, turn the heat down low.
Cover with the lid.
Please cook for about 4 to 6 minutes.
However, depending on the heat of the pan and the size of the onion rings
The time may vary slightly.
Rather than just looking at the time and turning off the light
The egg mixture does not flow out the center
Whether it is cooked firm all over
Please check~
The cheese melts smoothly.
Turn off the heat when the eggs are fully cooked.
Finally, pepper and parsley
Please sprinkle a little more.
When taking it out of the pan immediately
If you insert a thin spatula under the onion and lift it up
The shape is less distorted.
8. Sprinkle with parsley and pepper to finish.

If you look at the name of this dish
It looks a bit like an onion pancake, and also like an egg pancake.
Actually, onion pancakes and small omelets
It is close to the middle.
In onions cooked over fire
As the spiciness of raw onions decreases
A sweet taste comes up
The egg inside is soft and the ham is salty.
The melted cheese is even savory…
Above all, the edges of the onion
Because it is slightly chewy
Compared to when I only ate eggs and cheese
The texture is also much more interesting.
A slice of toast or
If you just add a salad
It is also a good option for breakfast or a light lunch.
You can have a fairly filling meal.
3 Key Points to Never Fail
First, do not slice the onion thinly.
It must be about 1.5 to 2 cm thick
It holds the egg mixture securely.
Second, do not fill the egg mixture completely from the start.
Put in a spoonful first.
It is to cook the bottom first and then fill in the rest.
This is the most important point.
Third, use the lid and low heat rather than high heat..
If you try to cook it quickly over high heat
The bottom might burn while the egg in the center remains undercooked.
If you use spam
It is better to chop it finely and add only a little.
Because both the ham and cheese are seasoned
If you add too much, it may become too salty overall.
Other corn, chopped bell peppers
Chopped mushrooms, spinach
Add the same ingredients
You can make it like a vegetable egg pancake.
However, vegetables with high water content
It is best to stir-fry it first to remove moisture before adding it.
Onions like this
The idea of using it as a cooking mold
I don't really do it.
Like eggs, ham, and cheese
Even if you only use ingredients commonly found in the refrigerator
Even the shape is pretty
It makes a meal.
There is one thing you especially need to remember.
A spoonful of egg first.
If you block and fill from the bottom
You can make it much cleaner.
If there is one onion left
Try making it.
Save it
It is good to take out and look at when you are wondering what to have for breakfast.
