Notes
Keep the heat low throughout the preparation so the eggs cook evenly without burning the onion. Lightly breaking the yolks helps spread the eggs better across the skillet. Use a nonstick skillet or grease it well with oil to make turning onto the plate easier. The toast helps form a firm base and makes the snack more complete. Serve while still hot to enjoy the melted cheese.
