So simple and yet so good! I pretty much just used the concept and made delicious open sandwiches with previously caramelized onions, Canadian bacon and eggs over easy. A special treat for a Sunday morning.
Caramelized Onion, Canadian Bacon, and Egg Sandwiches
Great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this sandwich would be well paired with a simple fruit salad. Use yellow onions if you prefer intensely sweet caramelized onions. The sandwich also is tasty on toasted whole wheat English muffins.
