Salty, sweet, comforting… not sure we need to say anything else. Replace the bacon with an additional 1 tsp. oil for vegetarian/vegan option. Leftovers are great hot or cold and pair well with a fried egg or a pile of sauteed greens for an easy breakfast.

Ingredients

• ½ cup thinly sliced red onion (about ½ medium)
• 1 tsp. coconut, avocado or olive oil
