Preparation

  • Step 1

    Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the schmaltz. Once the schmaltz is hot add in the onion and saute until soft and lightly caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Pour the eggs into the pan with the onions and immediately mix the eggs and onions well and let cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the mixture. Once the eggs are a set on the bottom, stir the mixture until the eggs are just cooked through and are in large chunks, about another 2 to 3 minutes. 

  • Step 3

    Serve hot.
