Delilah,I love that blog too! I’m not sure If I’d eat caramelized onions in my oatmeal but I do think they’re fantastic, especially if you’re patient enough to make them right.

Rhea, I didn’t have a problem but I had an adequate amount of oil in the pan. Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind for the future.

Looks delicious! Did you have any trouble browning the potatoes straight from the boiling water? Mine often stick, so I tend to use a trick I learned cooking at a breakfast and lunch place–refrigerate the boiled potatoes to let them firm up first.

I’m looking forward to trying this, Miri!

Adam, I just stick a fork in the yolk to make it run and then eat it with the potatoes it’s cooked with. If I just make fried eggs I ALWAYS eat them on top of toast. Can’t wait to hear what you do with the recipe.

On the topic of brunch – I recently read on one of my favorite food blogs that caramelized onions are the vegetarian bacon. So, I guess that also means they are the kosher bacon. If bacon equals greatly loved, tasty and can add flavor to many different dishes. She eats hers with oatmeal. Which, I haven’t tried but would like to!

Thanks, Miri, for the info about the removable eggs. Do you then eat them on toast or separately? I love fried eggs!

The Misto sprayer sounds like a good alternative for those other chemical-filled sprays. I didn’t know about it and just misunderstood your suggestion: sorry.

I do remember your other post on the benefits of some fat, in response to the collard greens piece. Good to see we’ve got a coalition going!

Adam, thanks so much for your comment! You’re right about the hot sauce. As I kid I ate many strong flavors.
The goal of the cooking spray is to make the eggs “removeable” and it worked quite well for me. However, I agree with you about the minimal amount of fat (you’ll see me defending fat in other recipes) and the environmental impact which is why I included the option of the Misto sprayer. You actually just put olive oil in the bottle and it just uses pressure to make mist – no chemicals. Here is a link: http://www.misto.com/. I plan to buy one shortly! My parents have one and it works quite well.

Wow — sounds like a wonderful recipe. I can’t wait to try it.

I’d add, though, that hot sauce isn’t just for adults. Many children love strong flavours: my niece used to eat sandwiches with lots of crushed, fresh, garlic in them and several of my nephews like spicy food too.

What’s the point of spraying the cooking spray in the holes? Do you want to be able to remove the eggs? Eggs in shakshuka are not “removable” from their holes, so I was just wondering about these eggs…

(As an aside – no offence intended – I have to admit that, personally, I’m rather freaked-out by cooking sprays: the small amount of oil or butter that they replace won’t kill you, but I worry that the chemicals and additives in the spray might. In any case, the propellants aren’t great for the environment, the spray is pretty expensive for what the amount of oil you’re getting, and the oil’s not nearly as good quality as pouring olive oil from a standard bottle.)
