Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually in a pot with 2 cups of water until tender.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine and let it cook together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Make two small wells in the rice mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
