Bring the water to a boil before covering the pan and turning off the heat. Allow the eggs to sit covered for 9 minutes. Next, drain the eggs and cool them under cold running water. You can choose to peel them right away or refrigerate them for up to 5 days before continuing with your recipe.
- 2Start by heating a large skillet, either nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron, on medium heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it warm up for about 1 minute. Next, add the onion to the skillet and sauté while stirring until it starts to soften, which should take around 1 minute.
