French Onion Breakfast Naan Flatbread
Your favorite fancy soup is transformed into a hearty and healthy breakfast with a twist. This creative flatbread is easy enough for weekend mornings yet still worthy of a holiday Easter brunch. Wake up to the classic flavors of French onion soup: swiss cheese, caramelized onions, beef broth and crispy bread are all a part of this delicious French Onion Breakfast Naan Flatbread recipe.
An Easy Easter Brunch Recipe
This easy breakfast flatbread recipe starts out on the stovetop: Heat a large pan to medium heat and add light butter. Once it’s hot, add thinly sliced sweet onions and spread them into an even layer.
Cook the onions for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are caramelized. Make sure to stir the onions occasionally. If they are looking dried out or sticking to the pan, add a bit of beef broth or water for some moisture. When they are almost finished cooking, add in some chopped broccolini.
While your veggies are cooking, you can preheat your oven to 400 degrees and chop up some swiss cheese.
Now it’s time to assemble your flatbreads! Place three whole wheat naan flatbreads (or any regular whole wheat flatbreads) onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle them with swiss cheese and top with the caramelized onions and broccolini. Crack two eggs on each flatbread and season them with black pepper.
Bake everything for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the egg yolks are cooked. Garnish with thyme and enjoy!
