Simple Combinations: Eggs and onions

Cajun French:  l’oignon (l’on-ee-on) – onion

 

Sometimes we try to make things too complicated by using many and varied ingredients.  We are trying to make some of our recipes simple, easy, quick and healthy.  So began “Simple Combinations”, where we use two to three ingredients for the main item.  It is easy to add fresh fruit, bread and/or fresh vegetables.

Here is another “Simple Combination” using eggs and Creole onions to make a quick and healthy meal.  Chopping the onion takes the longest amount of time.  While the onions are cooking, slice the tomato and cut fresh fruit.  The sweetness of the cooked Creole onions along with fresh eggs, both from the Red Stick Farmers Marekt, made an incredible combination.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!
