Ingredients

1 Tbsp.
olive oil
2
red onions, finely sliced
2 tsp.
caster sugar
1 Tbsp.
balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp.
sriracha
4 Tbsp.
mayonnaise
8
large eggs, we used Clarence Court Burford Browns
50 g
butter
small handful chives, finely chopped
50 g
Parmesan or vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese, finely grated

Directions

1. Step 1Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and fry, stirring occasionally, for 10-12min, until softened. Stir in the sugar, vinegar and a pinch of salt, increase heat to high and bubble for 1-2min, until reduced and sticky. Empty into a bowl and wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper.
2. Step 2In a small bowl, mix the sriracha and mayonnaise; set aside.
3. Step 3Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk with some seasoning, until combined. Reheat pan over low heat and add butter to melt. Pour in eggs and cook, folding them over one another with a spatula when they start to set, until just cooked through; about 10-15min. Fold in chives and cheese, and check seasoning.
4. Step 4Meanwhile, preheat oven to 150°C (130°C fan) mark 2. Put the buns on a baking tray and warm through for 5min.
5. Step 5To serve, slice the brioche buns in 1⁄2 (if not pre-sliced) and spread the sriracha mixture over all the cut sides. Divide the onions between the bottoms of the buns and top with the scrambled eggs and the brioche lids. Serve.
