AKA the famous Eggslut Fairfax breakfast sandwich aka softly scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, cheddar and Sriracha mayonnaise on a (you should totally make these homemade) brioche bun aka the ultimate hunger/hangover killer, depending on which group you’re in.
This is a little high-maintenance because a) you have to caramelize onions, which we all know you just can’t rush and b) you have to softly scramble some eggs, which takes a little longer to keep the eggs custardy and curds small and c) I highly recommend whipping up some homemade brioche buns because you’re a superstar.
You can caramelize your onions to any degree you want: I like mine with a little color and sweetness while retaining some texture and crunch. This should take about 35 to 40 minutes. The Sriracha mayonnaise cuts through some of the fatty richness of the eggs, cheese and onions, while giving you a little bite to keep you coming back for more. 
If you fall in the “I’m just hungry” group, you’ll want to plan ahead. If you fall in the “I’m hungover” group, you will MOST DEFINITELY need to plan ahead. I make a batch or two of brioche buns at a time and freeze them in individual freezer bags; they don’t take long to thaw and they still taste deliciously homemade.
You can watch this video of the owner of Eggslut (a genius albeit gutsy name if I do say so myself) make this sandwich to give you an idea of what you’re getting into. Keep an eye out for the genius technique of lightly melting the cheese in a barely warm skillet before placing it over the scrambled eggs…what the what?! I use this technique sometimes for other sandwiches! While I have never experienced this masterpiece from the restaurant myself, I’ve read plenty of articles touting it as one of the best. Until we met, Eggslut, this homemade one’s for you!

This is the first time I made scrambled eggs I actually liked! Starting the well-whisked eggs and butter in a cold pan was en pointe! My pan heated quickly so I had to turn it down to medium-low but I was so surprised at how quickly it came together. I didn’t bother with the onions but I had a fancy breakfast in 5 minutes! Thank you so much for this enlightenment!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! And I’m happy you finally found some scrambled eggs you like, so you can have more of them in your life 🙂
Cook onions for 35 to 40 minutes? Lmao you are out of your ever loving mind
There’s no need to be rude. Some people are willing to take the time to do this to make something delicious. That’s the great thing about the Internet…you can find a recipe that better suits you elsewhere. Good luck in your search!
