Instructions
Melt your butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and cook slowly, stirring occasionally until golden brown, about 25–30 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill your pressure cooker with enough water for poaching and add white vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small bowl to keep yolks intact and for easier pouring.
Set your pressure cooker to simmer with sealing ring in place.
Gently slide each egg into simmering water and cook for 3–4 minutes.
Remove eggs using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
Plate eggs, season with salt and pepper, and top with caramelized onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make the caramelized onions ahead to save time. Always crack eggs into a bowl before slipping gently into the simmering water.
