The "palace egg" inherited from the Ottoman cuisine to the Turkish cuisine is made by cooking onions on low heat for a long time, caramelizing them, and then breaking eggs on it. A hearty version of the same flavor is the omelet with creamed onions. Enjoy your meal!
Divide the onions into 2 halves and cut them into rings in the thickness of a knife blade.
Heat the oil and butter in the pan. Take the onions in the pan and slowly turn them over and spread them on the pan. Saute over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Pour 1 tablespoon of water over the sauteed and softened onions. Add brown sugar.
Take the caramelized onions in a separate place without burning them on low heat and wash the pan.
Break the eggs into a separate bowl and check if they are stale. Especially very fresh eggs should be used in this dish. Beat eggs well until foamy.
When the onions are warm, add them to the beaten eggs and mix. Add salt and seasonings and add a tablespoon of homemade hot sauce.
If you do not have hot sauce, you can also add hot pepper paste or ready-made breakfast sauce.
When all the material is concentrated and homogenized, burn the bottom of the pan. Put the rest of the butter and oil in the pan. Pour the mixture into the pan all at once, evenly.
Close the lid of the pan and cook on low heat for two to three minutes, until the eggs are slightly hardened. Turn off the fire by checking the bottom. Serve warm with hot sauce. Enjoy your meal.

Egg:
Eggs are a highly bioavailable protein source, essential for muscle growth and repair. Rich in B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and choline, they support brain function, nervous system health, and energy production. Lutein and zeaxanthin pigments aid eye health, reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Despite their cholesterol content, eggs typically don't adversely affect blood cholesterol in most healthy individuals. A breakfast staple, eggs pair wonderfully with various ingredients like cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and whole-wheat bread.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Red Onion:
Red onion, rich in potent antioxidants like quercetin and anthocyanins, supports cardiovascular health and reduces inflammation. Its chromium and sulfur compounds may aid blood sugar balance, while prebiotic fiber nourishes gut flora. It adds a refreshing, pungent note to salads, sandwiches, grilled meats, and dishes like tacos.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil, especially in its extra virgin form, is a powerful source of health benefits due to its high content of polyphenol antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid). It supports heart health by helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). With its anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces inflammation in the body, prevents cell damage, and provides protection against chronic diseases. It supports the digestive system and contributes to skin health. An indispensable part of Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with salads, vegetable dishes, fish, legumes, and fresh bread.
Vinegar:
Vinegar, with its acetic acid content, can help regulate blood sugar, support digestion, and assist in weight management. Furthermore, its antimicrobial properties strengthen immunity. It pairs perfectly with olive oil, garlic, and various herbs in salads. It creates delicious combinations with meat and vegetables in marinades.
Brown Sugar:
Brown sugar, less refined than white sugar, retains molasses, offering trace minerals like calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. These small amounts contribute to the body's overall health. Its humectant property adds moisture. Excellent in coffee, tea, baked goods (cookies, cakes), oatmeal, and meat glazes. It harmonizes well with spices such as cinnamon and ginger.
Black Pepper:
Black pepper, a kitchen staple, offers not just flavor but also significant health benefits. Thanks to piperine, its active compound, it boasts powerful antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals. It can stimulate the digestive system, enhancing nutrient absorption and notably increasing the bioavailability of curcumin found in turmeric. Additionally, it's effective in reducing gas and bloating. It also has a mild metabolism-boosting effect. With a wide range of uses from red meats to poultry, vegetable dishes to soups, it pairs excellently. It harmonizes perfectly with spices like cumin and coriander, as well as ingredients like lemon and garlic, adding depth to dishes.
Bitter Sauce:
Hot sauce, thanks to its capsaicin content, can boost metabolism and have pain-relieving effects. Some studies suggest capsaicin may help reduce appetite. Besides adding flavor to dishes, it pairs well with meat, chicken, eggs, and vegetables. Fermented hot sauces may also offer probiotic benefits.
