Instructions
Caramelize the Onions:
In a skillet over medium heat, add oil, sliced onion, a pinch of salt, and 1 tbsp butter. Stir and spread in a single layer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring often, until golden and soft. Deglaze with water and simmer until fully caramelized. Keep warm.
Scramble the Eggs:
Crack eggs into a cool skillet. Stir until blended. Add 1 tbsp butter, cook on medium-low, stirring constantly. Add salt and chives, remove from heat when just set.
Make the Sauce:
Mix mayo and Sriracha in a small bowl (2:1 ratio).
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Toast brioche buns with remaining butter. Spread sauce on each bun. Add scrambled eggs, melt a slice of cheese for each, then top with caramelized onions. Serve warm.
